Olympia Podium confession: I just want my dog back!

We get it.

Dikec Yusuf, who only recently took up shooting after a particularly heated argument with his ex-wife, credits his success to his newfound passion for seeing his kids and a relentless drive to prove his ex wrong. "I never thought I'd be here," Yusuf said, shrugging nonchalantly. "I was just aiming for a weekend with the kids."

The 52-year-old, who works as a mechanic in a small garage in Istanbul, first picked up a gun during a particularly frustrating divorce mediation.

His unorthodox approach – no specialty gear, no training regimen, and a wardrobe consisting of his everyday jeans and a T-shirt – has baffled professional shooters. "He just shows up, shoots a near perfect round, and then asks if there's a smoking area nearby."

After winning silver, Yusuf stood emotionless on the Olympic podium and declared, "Sharon, if you're watching this, I want my dog back."

Finally another puppy farm shut down.

When buying a dog from a puppy farm, we don't rescue that dog but support the puppy farm business.
Where there is a demand, there will be a supply.

Think about the choices you make when buying a puppy. Consult a trainer to assist with you with finding the right dog.

When Mary purchased a labradoodle in Tasmania, she didn't expect to feel like she was rescuing him. She also didn't expect the health conditions that would follow.

Another Friday night, another Scentwork trial. Benji competed at in Excellent interiors and Excellent exterior.

We passed the exterior search and he was really confident and clear.
The interior search went well for the first part, but then Benji got nervous about some of the environment. I think it was a mix of flooring, lighting, a doorway and a fridge and the noise there of. So we aborted and celebrated the fact he tried.

Benji was never a brave dog, and since Suvee he took on a few of her fears… and he now seems more confidence than Suvee about them being real.

We will keep trying. I am proud we got one pass and I am proud he tried.

Hey Dock Dog fans and wannabees. Here is your chance to have some training.

01/07/2024

Little man gained another qualie in scentwork Excellent. Last Friday we trialled at . What a fun trial with mom debut as Scentwork judge. Unfortunately we didn’t pass her container search. Benji didn’t give me an alert on the 3rd hide. I kind of knew where it was as I could see a clear change of behaviour but he didn’t commit to it. It seemed like he was struggling to sniff out the ‘hot’ container. I should have called it anyway since the result was that we timed out. A learning for next time.

Our vehicle search was a solid pass. set up a really nice search that with different environmental conditions could have been a lot harder.
Benji worked very well and reliable. We weren’t fast and thinking back we covered a lot of ground just to make sure we didn’t miss anything, in hindsight better planning from my end could have made us faster. But we got the pass, and are now trialling in Masters for Vehicles.
That’s just a little bit scary.

Doggie blood donors wanted. Help if you can.

Is your dog or cat our next blood donor hero?

There are many medical situations in which pets may require blood transfusions. Being a 24 hour emergency hospital, SASH sees many pets across our hospital network in need of a transfusion.

Below is a list of instances a SASH patient may need a blood transfusion.

Severe blood loss from:

- Trauma: injuries from accidents, fights, or surgery can lead to significant blood loss.
- Internal Bleeding: conditions like hemangiosarcoma, gastrointestinal ulcers, or rodenticide poisoning can cause internal bleeding.

Anaemia:

- Hemolytic Anemia: Immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) or other conditions where the body destroys its own red blood cells.
- Chronic Kidney Disease: This can lead to non-regenerative anemia where the body does not produce enough red blood cells.
- Bone Marrow Disorders: Diseases affecting the bone marrow, such as certain cancers or infections, can impair blood cell production.

Clotting Disorders:

- Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC): A serious condition leading to abnormal blood clotting and bleeding.
Surgical Procedures:

Major Surgeries:

- Operations involving significant blood loss, such as splenectomy (removal of the spleen) or liver surgery

Other cases a blood transfusion may be required involve: parasitic infections, cancer and severe illness or infections. Our 5 hospitals have a dedicated blood bank team whom work with specialists across multiple departments in the hospital. When a pet comes through and needs a blood transfusion, we rely on our blood bank team to replenish the blood. In order to replenish the blood, we rely on the generosity of pet owners. If you know someone with a large healthy dog or cat, aged between 1-7 years, share this post with them.

Register your pet to become a donor here: https://sashvets.com/services/animal-blood-bank/

Another weekend, another trial 🥳
Benji competed in scentwork today at Hills Dog Club.
Little man was a bit confused when I dropped him off at the venue to leave him with my friend .

In the meantime I took Suvee to try duck herding. Because I wasn’t sure I would make it in time for Benji’s scentwork runs, mom Sharon would have run him for me.
But luckily the rain cancelled most of the herding, and I was back in time to run Benji myself. In the rain! ☔️

We trialled in
Excellent containers - Q ⭐️
Excellent vehicles - Q ⭐️+ Judge’s award 🏅
and qualified in both.
Little man was not letting me down. Some of his alerts were a little soft at first and not very committed so we took some extra time to make sure I call alert when I am sure that he is sure and we are not rushed.
Benji’s container search was inside a tiled room. And since Suvee he can be a bit funny with slippery floors and bright spaces, but he did really well.
The vehicle search happened in the pouring rain 🌧️ but little man worked thoroughly despite getting rained on. He even got the Judges award 🏅because ‘he was so happy and his face lit up when he found the hides.’
About 1.5 - 2 years ago we went through a slumber in motivation but he seems to have found his mojo back. Which is great to see.

So glad I had the time to run him myself. I think the conditions, the wait without me and the swap of handler would have been challenging. Everything worked in the end. And maybe missing me when he was looked after by my friend, made him work a little harder in our runs.
Who knows …
We did well. He did well. ❤️ I love him. 😍

Our session with Archie meant a lot to us … and I guess to his mom. Archie did an obedience course with us last year but needed some extra help with recall.
He would dash towards other dogs when off leash and also not come back when other dogs were around.
More than being a lack of obedience, we had to address the relationship between dog and human outside the house. It was quite normal for most dogs but Archie needed some extra help. He spent age 8-13 months in a shelter with his brother. Nothing known about his life before. He is vary of people and even scared of men. Piecing his history together we have a dog with very little value for people that finds safety, comfort and fun in other dogs. Archie is only 2 years old. Potential herding breed mix, loves to run and likes the occasional dopamine chase. And there we have a dog where the human needs to work on the relationship and how to matter to their dog when other things take over.
Archie was scared of the rock I am standing on, a weird object in the water. We worked on it and through it. This is part of relationship building, working on and through things together.
We played together digging holes, we asked together, trained together formally and informally, we used a long drag leash to allow for liberty on probation.

His value for other dogs actually wasn’t as high as his mom always thought but in the absence of his hooman sharing moments together he would chase another dog ❤️

Thanks Archie and Lynette, I enjoyed our afternoon together big big time.

This wonderful senior pair is up for adopting. A sweet J*p Spitz and his feline friend. While our stated they can be adopted out separately, finding a home where they can stay together would be the best for them. Please share to find them a loving home where they can share the remainder of their (senior) years together. ❤️❤️❤️

Stairs can be scary for puppies. I puppy class we practise conquering challenges and how to overcome them. It’s pretty cute to see the puppies take confidence from each other. Well done Harvey, Blaze and Ollie ❤️

This video makes us extra happy. What doesn’t look much for some is huge for Archie. Archie was petrified of the tunnel. And generally, Agility didn’t hit his vibe in the first course. His mom persevered and they are now repeating the course. And Archie is getting the hang of it. Why bother you might think? Like pretty much most dog sports, they are something you do with your dog as a team. They challenge the team and they push limits for each team member. Challenges make you grow. Make the relationship grow. Archie is a rescue dog that didn’t have much of a relationship with people anyway before he got adopted by his now family. See Archie do the game and face the challenge is wonderful. Thank you Lynette for your perseverance ❤️ #runrunrun #shelterdog #rescuepooch #rescuedog #rescued #dogagility #adoptdontshop #iloveagility #agilitydogsoninstagram #agilitydog #notabordercollie #secondlife #agilitydogsport

I am resting Suvee today and took Barry to the @2024agilitynationals … Needless to say he was there just for the food. And Benji for the pats, and some food.

To say I am over the moon and super released is an understatement. This videos are from the @agilitydogclubnsw trial last Saturday. After over a month of injury rehab for Suvee (meniscus) and Benji (shoulder) this is our first run back. We had no training but lots of rehab and conditioning. Suvee ran beautifully. She qualified in JDX and came first. She is a very stable and consistent dog. With every run she gives her best. Second video is Benji’s JDM run. Currently he struggles with spread jumps. Something to work on but his form and jumping style otherwise was amazing. We didn’t qualify but I was over the moon that he is back to trialling again. I planned for our warm up to the Agility Nationals to be series of trials and lots of training but because of injuries that didn’t happen. But seeing my two agility dogs being able to attend the nationals is more than a win for me. #shelterdog #suveelaki #notabordercollie #rescued #sopretty @spitzlover #iloveagility #rescuedog #failedsheepdog #farmdog #germanspitz #agilitydogsoninstagram #rescuepooch #runrunrun #workingdog @spitzfeature #agilitydog #adoptdontshop #bestdogever #bordercollie #agilitydogsport #dogagility #secondlife

Thanks to the Border Collie club NSW for hosting this Friday morning Scentwork trial. 2 runs, 2 passes for Suvee.

I could watch these two play all day. They both like to play rough. Benji is a sore looser in play, and he likes to have the last say in many things. Not uncommon for a Spitz, they are sassy. He likes to make his point and control the opponent while Suvee is happy to adjust to his play. She is very good in adjusting her play style. She is also one of the few dogs that are happy to put up with Benji’s forceful and noisy play starts. He is a bit of a bully in play and she is happy to follow his rules. That’s why they work so well together and he gives her a lot of leeway. Suvee also knows how to get Benji to start the game again. They worked it out. We do step in at times when needed, e.g. Benji wants a break and Suvee won’t let him. She can be a pest 😂 But yes I love watching them play ❤️ @spitzfeature #dogsofsydney #sydneydogs #germanspitz #suveelaki #farmdog #dogtrainingsydney #erkodogtrainer #newtowndogtrainer #bestdogever #failedsheepdog #erkodogs #sopretty #dogtrainingnewtown #annandaledogs #waterloodogs @spitzlover #dogtrainerslife #dogtrainersofinstagram #sydneydogtrainer #workingdog #bordercollie #dogsofnewtown #dogsatplay #watchingdogsplay

Maru @heyy.miki and Abby braved the rain last Sunday and we did some exercises practising directional jump wraps and backsides. While Abby the teddy bear caboodle loves doing anything for her dad, Maru the Shiba Inu is a typical spitz breed with a clear agenda of her own needs and pleasures. Haha isn’t this what anyone with a spitz loves so much about them 😉❤️ Their personalities are so different but of of them grow in Agility in their own way and every challenge is a wonderful one. #iloveagility #notabordercollie #runrunrun #agilitydogsoninstagram #agilitydog #dogagility #agilitydogsport #cavoodle #shibainu #shibainuagility #cavoodleagility #agilitycavoodle #agilityshiba

Red Dog, the Kelpie, arrived to stay with us for a few days. He knows our dogs and has been to our place but never stayed here without his hooman. Red isn’t too interested in other dogs, and while he is social he prefers humans over dogs. One of the first things we did is gave everyone a chewy treat from @cleardog so they all settle, have something to do and we can observe and if needed put rules in place on what we expect when high value resources are in place. You might notice that foster dog Milo is tied up. That’s simply because the youngster likes to check out what everyone’s munching on. Not in a bad way but that’s just his thing. So he is tied up to stay out of trouble. There is a lot of liberty in our house, but it needs to be earned. #boarding #buzzfeed #rescuepooch #canineenrichment #adoptdontshop #foodtoys #dogbowlsareout #kennelalternative #manners #loveyourdogtrainyourdog #dogtrainersofinstagram #dogtoys #instapups #petsitter #petsitting #rescuedog #secondlife #shelterdog #endboredom #enrichmentfeeding #doggyholiday #domorewithyourdog #boardandtrain #homeschooling #obedience #petsonholiday #dogsofinstagram #dogboarding #nokennel #rescued

Our foster dog Milo had a day out on the farm with @takealeadfarmtrips. The farm trips are brilliant. Milo can make new friends and run and play with other dogs, supervised by dog trainers that know how to keep interaction sane, safe but still fun. They also have activities like agility, nosework, flirt pole play time, training and obstacles courses that help build confidence and get him to use his body and brain. And our guys have a day off from the youngster… Check out @takealeadfarmtrips. They have pick up spots in the Eastern Suburbs and Inner West. They are a brilliant day out for your dog and if done regularly, will become addictive for your pooch. Thanks to Aggy, Jimmy and Laura for taking so good care of Milo. It’s reassuring to know he is in safe hands ❤️ #dogtrainersofinstagram #dogtrainingnewtown #rescuedog #secondlife #dogtrainingsydney #annandaledogs #shelterdog #rescuepooch #adoptdontshop #dogsofnewtown #erkodogtrainer #rescued #newtowndogtrainer #sydneydogtrainer #erkodogs #dogsofsydney #dogtrainerslife #sydneydogs #waterloodogs

For us, crate training is a must. Having dogs be happy in a confined space helps with ✅ giving them a space to switch off ✅ managing multi dog households ✅ giving them a safe and secure spot for chill when at public events ✅ managing your dogs space when at a holiday rental and dogs are t allowed on the furnitures ✅ preparing them for boarding ✅ reducing stress levels when at the vet or groomer ✅ providing a safe space for nervous dogs ✅ reducing over-excitement and/or territorial behaviours when visitors come over ✅ assist with interactions and living together with small children ✅ promotes a healthy mental state ✅ helps with injury or surgery rehab ✅ helps with toilet training ✅ Assist with safe travel options And there is so much more. One easy way to start off crate or pen training is to simply feed them all their meals in their crate. Our dinner routine is to send the dogs to their crates, feed them in there with blinds down so they can have a little snooze after dinner while we humans eat. I understand that crate training might not be for everyone and often isn’t needed. But we find many benefits in crate training. We see their crates as their rooms. Some of our dogs even sleep in their crate. Barry probably loves his crate most. It provides him a safe spot that he likes to retreat to when the world is too much or a conflict situation is there that previously would have ended with aggressive behaviours. Now he retreats to his crate and takes the pressure out of the situation. I think I am safe to say our dogs love their crates ❤️ Well done kids … #farmdog #pomeranian #sopretty #fostermom #likesthesoundofhisvoice @spitzfeature #fosterdog #germanspitz @spitzlover #seniordog #pompom #barry #adoptdontshop #oldies #rescuedog #suveelaki #adoptme #puppytraining #bestdogever #bordercollie #failedsheepdog @fetchingdogs #puppytrainer #cuteas #workingdog

Milo stank!! How we stopped Milo’s body odour! 👃 When Milo arrived in our care 2 weeks ago, he was very smelly. There was a lot of body odour. One of the main reason for stinky dogs is their diet. He arrived with a bag of Blackhawk that we stopped immediately. It’s full of fillers and more produced with shareholder profits in mind than the animal’s wellbeing. Since we put him on a mix of high quality food of @k9natural @lykapetfood @prime100petfood @orijenpetfood (our favourite choice of kibble) but since it’s been sold out in Australia a lot we are now trying @petzyo We occasionally feed raw but a lot of the food is given through training, which makes raw a little complicated. As with people, you can see (and smell) what goes in. #adoptdontshop #shelterdog #rescued #rescuedog #rescuepooch #secondlife #fosterdog #rescuemutt

Our Story

Our story started in 2013 ... no, actually it started many years ago when I (Kerstin, founder of K9Fun) was 13 years old and my family adopted Benny, a 1 year old German Spitz, from a local shelter in East Germany. My family has had dogs before but none of them were ever allowed inside the house. I lived on a farm, so most animals were there rather for a purpose than just cuddles on the couch. This changed with Benny. Benny was MY dog. She slept in my room, slept in my bed, escorted me to the school bus in our village and waited outside our farm every afternoon for me to return from school. She went with me everywhere, she was my companion, my friend, my buddy. She loved stealing sugar cubes from our kitchen table, she is the reason why none of my cuddly soft toys from childhood are alive anymore, she buried her bones in mom’s pot plants around the house or even between the cushions of our couch. Every Sunday at 3pm she would sit at the end of our street in my village and bark, for no particular reason. Just because ... She didn’t like cyclists, and neither did she like one particular client of my parents company. My friends were her friends, the people I didn’t like, she didn’t like. She was there for me when I was happy and I was sad. This was Benny.

Now this relationship with Benny is how I love my relationship with a dog to be. It’s neither my fur baby, nor my best friend because I got my human bfs to share vino and advise with :) But my dog is my companion, my buddy, my friend, my family. We look after each other, each one in their capacity.

With K9Fun I want to help people to create, foster and maintain a beautiful companionship with their dog. I would like to help by removing frustration and stress, and add joy, fun and trust. When talking about training, people often think of it as a duty and on one side it is. But think of it as playing games with your dog. Think of it as spending time together, bonding, learning from each other and learning to understand each other. Training is part of shaping that communication with your dog.

We offer group classes, boarding service, private consultations, puppy classes and work with a wide network of other canine trainers and specialists that are the best in their field.
