One of the biggest and best things I have learn’t since becoming a dog trainer is…
Be intentional with every interaction. You don’t get to choose what they remember 🥹@

Be cool 😎✌️
And help them stay cool with this pupsicle yumminess 🍦

What you need:
- Greek yoghurt
- A Banana
- Natural peanut butter
- Turmeric

Directions:
1. Using any mould (ice cube tray, ice block moulds, small container), fill each one 1/4 of the way with yoghurt.
2. Slice your banana thingy and create a layer so it covers the whole surface area.
3. Drizzle peanut butter over the banana.
4. Repeat step 3 and 4 another three times until your mould is bursting with deliciousness.
5. Sprinkle with a little bit of turmeric magic.
6. Freeze the goodness.
7. When ready, remove from freezer and let it sit for a minute so you can tap it out of the mould easily.
8. Enjoy those puppy dog eyes of love as they wait in eagerness.
9. Let them gobble up all of the scrumptiousness knowing it has immune support, it’s protein rich and it’s good for bone and joint health 🤌

As we wave goodbye to 2024 and say hello to 2025 👋, I want to express my deepest gratitude. I am Goin’ Muttz because of each and every one of you. Over many years of being a trainer, I have been so fortunate to cross the paths of so many wonderful souls, many who still remain in my life. This past year has been no different. How lucky am I.

A person’s dog is their sun, their light, all of their love, their world, their life. While many people spend their year revolving around the sun, there are so many people, dog people, who’s life revolves around their dog. I know this and understand it in its entirely, because I fortunately experience this everyday with Luna. It is both beautiful and brutal.

I appreciate what it means to be trusted with the wellbeing of so many dogs, your dog and for this, I thank you. Sincerely. Deeply. For all that it means. It is the biggest compliment I can receive.

So as the world starts to revolve around the sun for 2025 and us around our dogs, stop and take a moment. Be still and hold your loved ones. One thing that is promised is that time will continue. So when you have that moment in time, embrace it, it is all that there is. It is everything we know. It is special and magical.

Happy new year beautiful people. May you welcome 2025 with health, love, optimism and worth. 🎆🫶🙏🐶🔆😘

Team Major and Tiarne PASSED their public access test (PAT). 👏🎓🦮

Major is now a certified assistance dog.

Major’s certification is recognition for the countless hours of time, an unwavering amount of dedication and perseverance and patience, strong resilience, big celebrations for the little steps in the right direction, shared frustration but also loads of joy, a butt load of eaten treats, a never ending amount of kindness and oh so much love between the two of them.

It has been my absolute honour to coach this team and watch them evolve into the magnificent working team they are now. I am beyond proud. I wish they could see their progress through my eyes. Incredible!

They say a smile is worth a thousand words, but look at Major’s beam, his is worth every bit of a million.

Here is to a beautiful working friendship in this very human world as they move through life together assisting each other.

Team Hattie and Jane PASSED their public access test (PAT). 👏🎓🦮

Hattie is now a certified assistance dog. This title does not come easy. It requires hundreds of hours of training. And now holds a lot of responsibility on Hattie’s shoulders.

To say I am proud is an understatement. Jane has worked tirelessly to instill so much confidence and love for work in Hattie. Hattie has risen to the training, challenges, exposures, tasks and shone.

It has been an absolute pleasure and priveledge to work closely with them to coach them to their assistance dog certification.

Here is to a beautiful working friendship in this very human world as they move through life together assisting each other.

So often, dogs are frowned upon for being a dog. They are not allowed to have bad days, goose about, say no to not wanting to do something. We expect them to always listen and do what we say instantly when we say it irrelevant to their wants or needs

Yet we humans have bad days, bad moods, choose not do something, expect patience or compassion all of the time. Humans are not perfect so why do we hold our dogs to a higher standard of perfection than we can attain ourselves?

Before asking something of your dog or reacting, take a breath and ask yourself does it really matter? Is the world going to fall apart? 9 times out of 10, the answer is no. So let them be a dog 🐶 🐾 ☮️

Last weekend, I spent my time with an incredible group of dog loving people from all around NSW, ACT and QLD (and of course, Scotland) who all came together to learn from John & Helen - Glasgow Dog Trainer and Behaviour Consultant

WOW, AMAZING, AWESOME, BRILLIANT, IMPRESSIVE, INSPIRATIONAL, INVIGORATING, REFRESHING, ENCOURAGING are just some of the adjectives used to describe the weekend in feedback to me.

To watch peoples faces light up as they learn more profoundly about dogs and the human part we play in the relationships with our dog’s, knowing the positive on flow effect this seminar has created and the lives of so many dogs it is going to influence greatly for the good. The smiles, the nods, the experiences shared, the “oh wow” moments is my reinforcement that all of the hard work over many months of planning, to make this seminar a success, has been worth it.

What a phenomenal educational and professional development weekend it was, where it is safe to say that everyone in the room learnt refreshing new ways to help the dogs who touch our lives. And how through more learning, we are going to touch and change their lives spectacularly. John and Helen’s consideration for dog’s welfare is at the forefront in everything they do and teach. Dog training is about concepts and principles, it is not a recipe and like John said “Engage. With humility, curiosity and kindness”. Observe more, you will learn from your best teacher, your dog who is right in front of you.

Thank you to all of the wonderful people who attended, it was so lovely to meet you and learn your stories and how you came to join us. Thank you for my wonderful demo doggies and their humans - the visual you created to help with our understanding of the theory 👌.

It has been an honour to host and a privilege to continue to learn and be mentored by them. Thank you John and Helen for sharing your time and your wealth of knowledge 🙏🐶🫶.

Hi everyone, one of my clients is attending the Glasgow Dog Trainer conference this weekend. Her assistance in training dog, Yoshi (Golden Retriever, 8months) is coming up from Canberra with her. I have organised for Yoshi to be looked after on the Sunday but my Saturday (tomorrow) arrangements have fallen through. Would anyone be interested in caring for Yoshi for 9 hours on the Saturday? Or can recommend someone. It would be greatly appreciated.
