Focus On Fun Dog Training I'm Patricia Brewer. I help dog lovers enjoy the freedom of a dog who WANTS to listen... through Trust, Confidence and JOY. 🐾 And your dog WANTS to listen.

I see dog behaviour a little differently. I'm Patricia Brewer, founder of Focus on Fun Dog Training, with over 30 years of experience helping people understand their dogs. Here's something I believe passionately...

The secret to having a wonderful dog isn't controlling their behaviour. It's influencing the choices they make. And that starts with understanding what's really driving their behaviour. When you change how a dog feels, meet their needs and make learning a JOY... something wonderful happens. You begin forging a Powerful Connection built on Trust, Confidence and Willingness. Through The PATHWAY and personalised online coaching, I help dog owners discover how to make that happen... without frustration, corrections or intimidation. But this page is about more than dog training. I'll be sharing stories, experiences, surprising discoveries and the occasional laugh from more than 30 years of living, working and competing with dogs. Some might challenge what you've always believed about dogs. Others might make you smile. And hopefully, a few will make you think...

"Well, I've never looked at it that way before!"

🐾 Follow along for stories, insights and a different way of looking at dog behaviour.

Mondayitis... this might help :-)

A man on Facebook asked what he should use to tie his dog up to his caravan.

Apparently, he only had a lead.

Well.

He asked for it!

Someone recommended a 10-metre plastic-coated cable from Kmart. Only $8.00.

Then we had...

A retractable lead...

a horse lunge lead...

wire rope...

parachute cord...

clothesline.

A chain got a mention too.

Someone suggested a dumbbell.

And then this...

“Rubber coated wire twather run.”

Whatever that is. 😂

But the prize for the hardest to follow went to this one...

“We bought a large dog collar with a click release and slide our dogs leads onto that then attach the collar to strut on bottom of our van”

I might need a diagram.

If I'd answered?

Just put up a fence.

There you go.

One more answer for the collection.

And that's what struck me.

You can have plenty of answers...
and still be missing the pieces you need.

It's much the same when you're asking about barking...

or pulling on the lead...

or a dog who won't listen.

Someone tells you what worked for their dog.

You give it a go.

Yet if it doesn't work for yours...

what did you miss?

Was it the right starting point?

Did you need to do something else first?

You can have 950 pieces of a 1,000-piece jigsaw and still be unable to finish it.

Another handful of pieces won't help much if they belong to a different puzzle.

So if you've collected a mountain of advice...

and you're still stuck...

there may be something important you simply haven't been shown.

Sometimes you don't need more advice.

You need the right missing piece.

Dog is pulling… you do not have to correct. Simply show the what to do instead.

Every movement and absolutely every noise would instantly trigger a manic over aroused state. The first year of Buddy’s life was solve the challenge that was causing the most grief and move on to the next.

But I always had the goal of a dog we could enjoy taking anywhere.

We have that and so much more. He truly is the best dog ever… there is never a boring moment when you start seeing the world through Buddy’s eyes.

Any noise and any movement would send Buddy nuts!

You did everything they told you.
You were consistent. Patient.
You used treats.
Hired trainers.
Searched the internet.
Asked AI
And still…
Your dog won’t come when called.
Still barks, jumps, pulls, loses it on walks.
You’re frustrated…
And the worst part?
You’re starting to believe it’s you.
But here’s the truth:
You’ve been following a GPS that leads nowhere.
The advice you got — it is missing the most important piece.
💛 Because real change doesn’t come from trying to gain control.
It comes from a Powerful Connection—built on Trust, Confidence, and Joy.
That’s what turns chaos into calm.
That’s what makes your dog want to listen.
And in this FREE video, I’ll show you exactly how.
