Yentrah Versatile Dogs

Yentrah Versatile Dogs Dog training & behaviour modification consults. Private or small group sessions. We all want the perfect dog, right? This list is endless.

Truth is you already have him/her, together we can build the relationship you dream of with your dog. About me:
My name is Chantelle and I have been a Vet nurse for 23 years and counting. Since starting in early 1999 I have seen many, many dogs come through those doors and wanted to be able to help them in aspects other than nursing. Often they were just wanting their owners to understand how the

experience was affecting them, whether they were scared or just overwhelmed with excitement. In 2003 I joined our local dog club, wanting to train my own dogs to be well mannered and socialised. After a few years I started taking on the role of a trainer within the club and in March 2015 became the Head Trainer, a role I still hold. I have been running Puppy Preschool classes since 2004, the way we train and teach our dogs new things has evolved so much during that time! I have a keen interest in dog behaviour and training, I have attended many courses and seminars to better my knowledge so that I can then share with dog owners. In December 2020 I obtained my IMDT (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers) qualification, passing with distinction. My Dogs:
In early 2003 my first dog (other than family dogs) Nanook came into my life and the training journey began. 1 eventually became 3 and the fun times kept on rolling. Nanook competed and Titled in Obedience CCD & CD and Rally RN & RA. Blaze competed and Titled in Obedience CCD & CD, Rally RN & RA Jumping JD. Due to injury my boy Squiff didn't get a chance to compete, but was the best cheer squad the girls could have hoped for. My 3 beautiful Husky x Kelpie's have since left this world and I have 2 gorgeous dogs to keep me on my toes! Phoenix (Husky x Border Collie) has competed and Titled in Rally RN, RA & RE, Agility AD ADX and Jumping JD JDX JDM3. We are currently competing in JDM, ADM, CCD & RM, we are also learning skills in trick training and scent work. In 2022 Phoenix & I competed & were awarded State Masters Jumping Dog Champions. We followed this up in 2023 with back to back Champion status. Also in 2023 we were awarded Runner-up National Agility Masters Champions. Shadow (Dingo x) was adopted when she was about 10mths old and is.......entertaining. She has competed and Titled in Rally RN. We have achieved passes & are currently competing in JD. Shadow is finding scent work really rewarding and we will start to focus a bit more on this. My girls also attend training seminars, to improve both our skills, but we also enjoy beach walks, bush walks, catching up with family and friends, enrichment games, sniffing games, trick training and so much more! You can really do so many different things with your dogs, your only limit is you.

Vaccinate or Titre Test to ensure your dog is as protected as they can be.

🦠 Attention Pet Owners! 🦠

We want to inform our community that there has been a confirmed case of parvovirus in the Mount Barker area. This highly contagious and resistant virus can be DEADLY, especially for unvaccinated puppies and dogs.

Protect your furry friends! Here are a few important reminders:

🔹 Ensure your pets are up-to-date on their vaccinations. Puppies require a vaccination at 6-8 weeks old then again at 10-12 weeks old.
🔹 Avoid contact with unfamiliar dogs, especially in public areas.
🔹 Watch for symptoms such as lethargy, loss of appetite, vomiting and diarrhoea which is often but not always bloody.
🔹 The virus is very resistant, and can last in the soil for years. It can be tracked in on shoes/boots, and tires so even if you are on a farm it can be tracked in.

If you notice any of these signs in your pet, please contact us immediately. Early detection can make a significant difference!

Let’s keep our pets safe and healthy! 🐾❤️

We are lucky to have a very effective vaccination against parvovirus. For more information or to schedule a vaccination, call us at 9851 1177 or visit our website www.mtbarkervet.com.au

Stay safe, Mount Barker!

🐾🏆💗 Brag Post 🥰
I entered the Western Classic in Perth over the weekend with Phoenix & Spritz.
It was Spritz’s 3rd jumping trial, but her first attempt at a multi-ring event and a night trial.
Spritz had 2 Jumping runs and she was super!!!! Baby dog errors and handler errors (here’s a thing, all dogs are different 😜). She had some really nice commitment to obstacles at distance and recalled from a dog on the sideline AND the cameraman who was on his belly taking photos 😂 what a little superstar!!!
Phoenix had 3 classes;
Masters Jumping, Trial 1 - 1st place
Masters Jumping, Trial 2 - 2nd place
Masters Agility, Trial 1 - 2nd place
AND (Dogwest pending) we have now gained our
AGILITY MASTERS TITLE!!!!!!
Nixipup you are a bloody legend!!!
It’s been a long slog up and down the Hwy, but the country kid did it!!!
Beyond proud of this achievement with my girl, the first Albany team to gain both JDM & ADM Titles 🥰🥹

🐾Reminder again to our Albany Pet Parents🐾
The fireworks are scheduled for 9pm & midnight this evening.
📌 Bring your dog/s inside
📌 Create a safe place for them (Den)
📌 Put some music on (or the TV)
📌 Be calm, it will help them stay calm
📌 Have a Kong or Lickimat ready
📌 Maybe do some calm training exercises inside
📌 Make sure their ID tags are on and current (incase they escape)
📌 Go for a drive, away from the fireworks
📌 If they are on situational medication, make sure you administer at the correct time for optimal effect

The City of Albany have said that the Foreshore event is Dog friendly, HOWEVER if your dog is likely to be stressed by the busy environment, the noise of children running around having fun, the bands and the fireworks.......then this isn't actually a friendly place for your Dog. 🐾

Enjoy the festive season with your loved ones and hold the memories tight of those who may no longer be with you. 🎄

I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many new dogs and their families over the year, watching you all learn together has been wonderful. 🐾

And that’s a wrap!!
5 days full of learning.
Ken Ramirez is a wealth of knowledge and his experience in the animal training world is phenomenal.
So very grateful to be able to attend this conference in our own State! Can’t thank Institute of Modern Dog Trainers Australia (Laura & Fiona)enough for putting it all together and convincing Ken to leave his Ranch in the USA to put up with some crazy, but passionate Aussies.

Also the Zoo staff! Wow oh wow! Their training , husbandry, passion and knowledge of the Zoo animals is inspirational!

Day 4 complete.
One more day before we sadly say ‘until next time’ to the amazing Ken Ramirez.

In our lunch break today we had a talk from the elephant zoo keepers.
Here we see their female elephant “Permai” doing some nose (aka trunk) work!
She is searching for an odour (coffee) that was placed in this section of the enclosure.
As soon as she enters the keepers cue her to ‘search’.
Her indicator, that she has found the odour, is her vocalising. She also flicks her ears forward at the same time, do you see it?
Watch how her body language and movement changes when she’s getting close to pinpointing the odour. 🥰

Day 3 of 5 done!
What a perfect time to get a memorable photo with Ken Ramirez and fly the Albany Dog Trainers flag with my good friend Donna from Every Day Dogs.

Ken’s knowledge of animal training is next level and his passion for conservation is inspirational!!
It’s no wonder he is sought after as a world renowned trainer.

Bring on the next 2 days 😃

Yesterday my 2 Denmark groups completed their training with me 🐾
They tested their new skills on the ‘obstacle course’ and had so much fun in the sun…….and more importantly in the ballpit 😂
As everyone’s skills improved, the confidence and bond in the relationships grew.
This was demonstrated yesterday when they needed to work as a team through the obstacles.
Well Done Everyone 💛🐾
