If your daily stroll feels more like resistance training, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep struggling.

Whether your dog pulls like a freight train, zig-zags across the path, or lunges at distractions, loose leash walking can be taught, and it’s a total game-changer for both you and your dog.

✨ Imagine calm, connected walks where you’re both enjoying the journey (instead of just surviving it).

At K9 Instinct, we help dogs and their humans build the skills for relaxed, enjoyable leash walks - without the frustration.

📍Ready for stress-free walks? Message us or check the link in bio to book your session.

I recently did a Zoom Consult for a with a new client living on Norfolk Island.
Building relationships with vets and trainers both here and overseas means together we can offer clients a holistic plan for their dogs wellbeing and behaviour.

Benefits of a Zoom Consult include -

📌 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 & 𝗙𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆
No travel time, can even be done in your work break or after hours.

📌 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲
Outside of our face to face service area? You can still benefit from our training knowledge. Often being able to get a zoom consult sooner than a face to face consult is available.

📌 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗵
We can work on the handler education, mechanics, timing and strategy. The foundations of effective training.
Giving feedback in real time.

📌 𝗜𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀
Perfect for discussing complex behaviours that need a management and training plan before the in person work begins.
Home set ups and environments can be visually assessed and recommendations made.

📌𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝘂𝗽 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁

𝗪𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗮 𝘄𝗶𝗻 🥇 - 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝗻

This Saturday Gerda and I were entered in JD600 at the Hawkesbury Dog Agility Club trial. Not only did Gerda get her first pass but also came 1st 🎉

While I know Gerda is capable of the courses, we struggle with the environment.

A touch over a year ago while I was walking her and her half sister in an on leash area we had two Border Collie mixes slip their leashes and run across a park to attack my dogs. The owner of the dog did not rush to come get his dogs.
And while we have some amazing Border Collie friends - the fast movement and barking at an agility trial which is dominated by Borders can trigger my dogs.

So we worked on lifeskills and frame of mind while we warmed up for the trial, and win or lose, advocating for my own dogs, the dogs around me, and myself is number one.

Of course when I entered this trial it didn’t cross my mind that it’s next to the RAAF base. I have my own triggers with planes. And of course being a Saturday it was peak time for light rec planes taking off and landing.

So training with Gerda was like meditation for me. We were absolutely a team. And the teamwork paid off.

The pass and a first place was just the cherry on top 🍒

Today I ran into Stella and Harvey the Golden Retrievers from our last puppy class.
They were showing at the Parramatta & Districts All Breed Kennel Club show.
I even got to handle Harvey for puppy run offs and Stella went on to win Baby Puppy in Group 🏆

The “𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗜𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗚” dog coats from Friendly Dog Collars are back in stock 🎉
I’m a fan of these for helping communicate your dogs needs out in public spaces.
They’re lightweight with highly visible wording.

Our dogs are not public property, but it can be hard to express to others that they’re working on behaviours and aren’t out just to make people happy by allowing pats or engagement.

This takes away some of that awkward conversation!

Today after Mondio training I headed to the Animal Welfare League Adoption Day. I’m extremely proud of myself for not adopting ANOTHER dog. However I did get Tuna a new disco cowboy harness and cowboy hat.
Enjoy 🤠
