Kirstie’s K9’s Walk&Train

Kirstie’s K9’s Walk&Train Hi, I’m Kirstie — a dog trainer, animal lover, and mum to my awesome 3 kids and 5 fabulous dogs. I train 121 sessions and group enviromental walks.

I use positive, reward-based training to build trust and confidence in both dogs and their people.

When you’re out with your dog—especially puppies and adolescents—always take something for them to do. Whether it’s treats, a toy, a chew, or a simple training game, giving them a job helps them stay engaged. You can’t expect a young dog to calmly sit and do nothing while you chat, so set them up for success by bringing activities that keep their mind occupied.

At just 7 months old, chunky was already learning to engage with the world rather than fear it. Environmental training has always been a cornerstone of my approach. I believe dogs thrive when they have a job to do, and true confidence is built through experience, exposure, and learning to work through new environments. 🐾 training

Why Environmental Training Matters 🐾

One of the best ways to understand your dog’s true level of training is to work with them in different environments.

That’s why my Saturday morning training sessions are always held outdoors. While dogs may perform well at home, in the garden, or in a familiar setting, the real test comes when we add distractions, new smells, different surfaces, unfamiliar sights, and everyday sounds.

Many owners are surprised by how differently their dog behaves in a natural environment compared to at home. This isn’t a setback—it’s an opportunity to learn and grow. Training in a variety of locations helps build confidence, improves focus, and shows us how well our dogs can apply their skills in the real world.

A well-trained dog isn’t just one that listens at home—it’s one that can make good choices wherever life takes them. 🐕✨
