Nicole has been working with Steve for more than 10 years and has had great success using K9 Pro's methods with her own dogs and with clients. Here at Synergy Dog Training, our methods are balanced and tailored to each individual dog - there is no "One-size-fits-all".

Our Advanced Skills class worked on sendaways directly towards another dog this week. This is a challenge for the running dog to do the task commanded and not greet the other dog and it's also a challenge for the dog on place to remain calm while being run at by another dog.

They did so well!

Our Advanced Skills class is for long term clients who are looking to challenge their dogs more. We often work on tricks, harder versions of life skills exercises and really anything the client or we come up with!

Monday Check In!

What did you and your dog get up to over the weekend?

Zip and I had a ripper of a time at the Dogs Queensland State Obedience Trials where we won the top dog for our level! She placed first in both competitions getting a perfect scorebof 200/200 for the first competition and following it up with a very nice score of 197/200 for the second trial.

Special thanks to my mentor and coach Steve from who helped me tidy up Zip's work so she could perform at this standard!

The anywhere dog...

A dog who can chill at home, do a casual walk around the neighbourhood, handle busy places like markets and tag along on sneaky mid week dinners out!

Having a dog who can do all this isn't luck. It took time, loads of training and a system to raise and train her into the dog she is today.

Starting when your dog is a puppy will give you the best chance of success but even if you are working with an older dog, a reactive dog or a dog with some challenges you can still work towards the goal of a dog you can take places with you!

Reach out if you want help to train an anywhere dog like Zip!

Monday Check in!

What did you get up to on the weekend with your dogs?

Our girls competed at a double trial. Zip gained two passes in the Open ring on scores of 193/200 and 189/200 winning second place both times. Fizz had her first attempt at the top level of obedience competition and came away with 3rd place in both trials, no passing scores for her but lots of positives for her first attempt at this level!
