Diverse Dogs

06/01/2026

Every dog carries instincts shaped by generations before them. Fulfilling those genetic traits through meaningful outlets helps reduce frustration, builds confidence, and can reduce behavioural issues.

If you'd like to learn more about how to fulfill your dog, please get in touch!

Hello Joey!
Joey and his owners completed an initial consultation with us before Christmas to address a few things, such as recalls and selective reactivity. We started by coaching his owners how to build better communication and engagement and how to give him more fulfillment through play!
Joey will be continuing his learning with us in the new year on our transformational 10 session plan with Trainer Bridget.
If you need some help communicating with your dog get in touch.......we can show you how.

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re pausing to reflect on a big year of growth for Diverse Dogs 🐾

• Reactivity Success Path
• Diverse Dogs Trainer Certification

🐕 Team & Expansion
We welcomed two incredible trainers — Bridget & Abi — and expanded into North Gold Coast and South Brisbane, now servicing three local areas plus clients worldwide.

✈️ Workshops & Travel
From local workshops to Perth, Toowoomba, and beyond — we’ve had the privilege of supporting hundreds of people and dogs this year.

🙏 Gratitude
Thank you to every person who trusted us with their dog. It’s an honour to do this work.

🚀 2026 is coming…

✨ Diverse Dogs | 2025 Reflection & 2026 Vision ✨

As we close out 2025, we’re taking a moment to pause, breathe, and reflect on what has been a truly expansive year for Diverse Dogs 🐾

This year marked a powerful evolution for us.

🌿 Breaths & Barks Retreats
We hosted two successful Breaths & Barks retreats, refining and proving a retreat structure that genuinely supports nervous system regulation, deeper human–dog connection, and meaningful transformation. These retreats have laid a solid foundation we’re excited to keep improving and expanding on in the years ahead.

💻 Online Learning & Global Reach
2025 also saw the creation and growth of our online education platforms, allowing us to support clients Australia-wide and internationally through:
• Reactivity Success Path – Online Course
• Diverse Dogs Dog Trainer Certification Course

These programs are already creating real change for guardians and trainers around the world.

🐕 Team Growth & Local Expansion
This year we proudly welcomed two incredible trainers to the Diverse Dogs team:
✨ Bridget
✨ Abi

We expanded into North Gold Coast and South Brisbane, meaning we now service three local areas, while continuing to support clients online across Australia and internationally.

A special and heartfelt mention to Bridget — your support, dedication, and contribution to the growth of Diverse Dogs this year has been enormous. You are an exceptional trainer, an incredible asset to this business, and the feedback from your clients speaks volumes. Your work is seen, valued, and deeply appreciated 💛

Huge gratitude as well to Abi in South Brisbane, whose passion and care for her clients and dogs has been such a beautiful addition to the team.

✈️ Workshops, Travel & Client Impact
2025 included multiple weekend workshops, an interstate trip to Perth for private sessions and a Play With Purpose workshop, and a week-long visit to Toowoomba working closely with private clients.

Throughout the year, we’ve had the privilege of supporting hundreds of people and dogs, across all kinds of behaviour challenges, helping improve relationships and build calmer, more connected lives together.

🙏 Gratitude
To every person — locally, across Australia, and around the world — who trusted us with their dog and their journey, thank you. It is an honour to do this work.

🚀 Looking Ahead to 2026…
And honestly… 2026 is going to be EPIC.

🔥 More Breaths & Barks Retreats
🔥 Continued development and refinement of our online learning space
🔥 Reactivity Success Path moving to a subscription format for easier access, ongoing content, and continued support
🔥 Official launch of the Diverse Dogs Dog Trainer Certification (currently working with an amazing foundation group) — creating an affordable, values-driven entry pathway for future trainers
🔥 More travel for private training, workshops, and seminars, with trips already planned for Toowoomba, Coffs Harbour, Sunshine Coast, and Perth
🔥 Continued team growth and expansion into new areas

Thank you for being part of this journey — here’s to growth, connection, and what’s possible when we truly understand dogs and ourselves 🐾✨

The importance of a marker!

Your kind words truly mean the world to me and remind me why I love what I do!

Every dog is unique, and so are the challenges they face. Whether it’s reactivity, anxiety, lead pulling, recall issues, or other behavioural concerns, I’m passionate about helping both dogs and their owners understand each other better.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure about your dog’s behaviour, please know you’re not alone!

Please get in touch and lets work through it together!

This is ZIggys 2nd session on learning the 'crate' command. Ziggy already has a positive association to being in the crate, and now we are working on a command for him to go there when his owners need him to. We start by marking interest in the crate wth a 'yes' and reward and progressively ask for more until he learns to enter the crate for his reward. Once he understands this sequence we can layer the command on top as he is entering the crate. This process has been done with no lead and with the exception of throwing a few pieces of food into the crate at the beginning no additional guidance about what we wanted him to do. We just mark progressive actions with 'yes' and reward. Free shaping makes the learning process more fun, it engages the dog to problem solve, and improves their ability to learn quickly in a wide range of behaviours and environments.
There is some foundation work needed to help the dog learn the 'yes' marker before using it in training.

If you would like to know more about crate training or free shaping behaviour contact us now for a chat.

✨Breaths & Barks ✨

A weekend of playing with purpose with our dogs, regulating our nervous systems through breathwork, diving into scent detection, and enjoying beautifully nourishing meals that kept us all fuelled.
What an incredible weekend!
Thank you to everyone who came and everyone who helped make it happen!
