Is it just us, or has Melbourne got seriously chilly lately? 🥶

Colder weather can make us all want to hibernate, but it’s actually a golden opportunity to engage your pup’s mind indoors. Here’s how:

❄️ Set up mini obstacle courses at home – think sofa cushions for jumps and hallways for sprints!
❄️ Teach your pup a trick they haven’t mastered yet; a great way to keep busy on rainy days.
❄️ Keep those noses sharp by hiding treats or their favourite toy.

See, the cold weather isn’t a problem! Let’s get those tails wagging with some indoor training sessions that turn chilly days into thrilling days for your dog.

With us, you absolutely can – and should! No question is too silly and every little win is celebrated.

Our training isn’t just a one-and-done deal. It’s about walking with you as your pup learns the ropes, from those shaky first sits to confident tail wags in the park.

We’re in it for the long haul, ready to chat through any of those midnight "is this normal?" texts.

Check out our training packages online. You’ll notice that most of them include ongoing phone and email support throughout the program.

Think your usual leash is a bit of a party pooper? Amp up the fun with our 10-metre Biothane Long Line!

Here’s why stretching out the leash can make walks and training more thrilling:

👉 It lets them wander further without worry. This leash keeps them close enough for comfort but far enough to foster independence – perfect for honing those recall skills in open spaces.

👉 It gives your dog the freedom to follow their nose (and their curiosity!) without dragging you along for the ride. It’s a stress-free way to let them explore.

👉 It allows you to nail those long-range sits and stays. A long line means you can train from afar, making it easier to manage and master commands over distances.

Want to give your pooch more room to roam? Our Biothane Long Line is tough, weather-resistant and ready for any adventure.

👃 Think your dog’s nose is just for sniffing out snacks? Not always!

A dog's sense of smell is a biological marvel – scientifically speaking, it's up to 100,000 times more sensitive than a human's. This isn’t just about the number of smells they can detect, but also their ability to differentiate between the most nuanced odours.

Scent work training leverages this phenomenal capability.

It transforms everyday sniffing into a mental workout, challenging dogs to identify and react to specific scents. This not only stimulates their brain but also boosts their problem-solving skills, providing a fulfilling mental engagement that dogs crave.

If dogs had dating profiles 🤣

Imagine the horror when Charlie isn’t quite as laid-back as his profile suggests…

Just like in the dating world, not everyone at the park is how they might appear online. Here’s how to make sure your dog mingles well and finds their perfect playgroup:

🐾 Start young:
Introduce your pup to new experiences and friends early.

🐾 Positive reinforcement:
Always acknowledge and reward good social behaviour.

🐾 Regular playdates:
Keep your dog social and in good company by mixing with other well-behaved dog pals.

Need a little extra help? Our online training sessions are perfect for building those social skills, so your dog can always make the best impression, offline and on! 💻

✨The Significance of a Skilled Mentor ✨

Dog training can often feel like a lone journey, with you and your dog facing the challenges solo. However, it’s crucial not to underestimate the value of having a seasoned mentor or coach by your side.

A coach or mentor doesn’t just equip you with practical skills; they also profoundly influence your mindset and approach to training. They have the power to inspire you to reach greater heights, pull you out of a slump, and demonstrate that your goals are within reach. Equally important, they can help manage your expectations and provide a reality check when needed.

As social beings, humans thrive on interaction and learning from one another. Consider joining a club, enlisting the help of a trainer, or seeking guidance from someone who motivates you. It could make all the difference for you and your dog.

🎥 Petflix & Chill 🍿

Curious about what your dog sees during TV time? It’s a bit different from what we see.

Here’s the science behind it:

Dogs view the world mainly in blues and yellows, as they have dichromatic vision – unlike humans who see a full spectrum of colours. This means shows that feature these shades might catch their eye more than others.

Our four-legged friends are also excellent at detecting movement due to their higher flicker sensitivity. Modern TVs with refresh rates higher than 75 Hz appear smoother to them, boosting their ability to track moving objects on the screen. This is why your pup might be particularly engrossed by fast-moving scenes in nature documentaries​.

The sounds from the TV also play a big role. Realistic animal noises can grab their attention and might even elicit a bark or a wag!

So, next time you sit down to binge-watch, notice if your dog perks up at certain shows.

If dogs could text, we'd probably get a million messages about treats and a detailed report on the cat's tyranny! 💬

With more of us working from home, our dog pals have grown a bit clingy, haven't they? Here are some tips to help your pup feel more secure when you're out:

🏠 Keep a consistent schedule for walks and meals.
🏠 Make sure they have a cosy spot where they feel safe.
🏠 Leave them with puzzles and toys to keep their minds (and paws!) active.
🏠 Gradually increase the time you're away to ease separation anxiety.

Remember, patience is key. Training your dog to be comfortable alone at home takes time, but with these steps, you can help them become more independent.

On the hunt for a pup who's a pro at fetch, a master of “stay” and a guru in giving paw?

Just like we might have lofty expectations when swiping through dating profiles, we often set the bar too high when it comes to the speed of our pups’ training. They’re not gonna tick all the boxes straight away.

The real trick? It’s about patience and having a bit of fun during the process.

And when the going gets ruff, PK9 has your back.

Our online training sessions are like having a dog whisperer in your pocket, making sure you and your pup keep up the spirit without losing the plot.

Had the pleasure of meeting @mrwalker_parkhyatt today, giving him some love and of course lots of #nomnoms #barkhyattmelbourne

Yesterday we had Goose and now we have Stevie! My little pocket rocket and my soul dog. This girl would live in my skin if I let her and every day is a good day with her around 💕 We had some big dreams of going for our BH however life has unfortunately got in the way and so that’s been put on the back burner. Atleast for now anyway, but we still dabble in bits and bobs because this girl lovesssssss to work! Tell me about your soul dog in the comments! #dogtraining #dogtrainingmelbourne #dogtrainer #obediencetraining #pk9 #dogtrainermelbourne #Labrador #focusedheel

6 month old Golden Retriever puppy Yuvi and his Dad putting in the reps in order to achieve dog neutrality.

No fancy background, no trending music, just a little lab working for her dinner practicing position changes. Focusing on front feet planted and first time showing her a different picture of me facing away from her. I have a mirror to the side of me that I’m trying to use to prevent looking directly at her. Ideally I’d have the mirror in front of me or a spotter to prevent my head turning to the side.
