Fear not; help is here!

I advocate & demonstrate Canine Sensibility.

We are all learning there is no "one way' to train a dog; there are COUNTLESS approaches! 

All behaviours need to be met with understanding. Sometimes that means understanding your Dog isn't comfortable in certain (or many) environments/situations & taking a big step back to work on it together x

First & foremost, its important to meet your Dogs' true needs & assist them in learning how to regulate their Central Nervous System! ...You'd be surprised at how much of their behaviour you don't have to "control' when these key achievements are unlocked!  

My favourite approach is to learn & play through instinctually-fulfilling activities; it's not about emptying their tanks, it's about  filling their cup!   

What is your dogs' favourite thing to do? 

...Let's use that to provide simple, structured &  positive outlets (E.g. Scatter-feeding or Skill Training), games that can be utilised broadly & create genuine communication with your dog as a result. Develop a bond & design a fulfilling lifestyle for both you & your pooch!

I like to focus on the positive by capturing/marking desired behaviours with a "yes" & setting my dogs up for small wins that eventually add up to the overall desired behaviour; working WITH natural behaviours to make it fun & lasting xx 

P.S Incorporating quick & easy hand-feeding games into daily meal times = easy progress!

For the last 3 years I've been travelling QLD & NSW with Dogs daily, fostering & rehoming along the way. I apply everything I've learned from my experiences, my Dogs & the positively progressive trainers I have shared links to on here. I've learned more in this time than ever in my life, especially given how frequently my location changes. We have naturally begun DEMONSTRATING on our journey & will be leaning into that! Stay tuned x

Being Widowed in January 2021 pushed me back towards this, my unrealised lifelong Dream. 

~ I've been developing Exercise & Training Plans for Dogs since I was 11yo. My childhood Dog was the same age as me, she was born Deaf & she was overweight in her Senior years. I decided to start teaching her the tricks on the Schmacko's packets & walking her to the end of the street each day. Then around the corner the next week, until after a month we were lapping the block together after school & we had learned several tricks using only Hand Signals! 

I've spent all these years fascinated by observing Dogs breeds/behaviours & knowing I could teach without talking; since 11!

I've curated DOZENS of Journeys since establishing my Community Outreach Program; all unique.

I've studied online courses from Dog Trainers all around the world; Victoria Stillwell, Jerri Scherff & Denise Fenzi are positive international Behavioural Trainers that I recommend whole heartedly!

I've been a  Volunteer at RSPCA in the Adoption Centre & Obedience Classes in recent years but 1st Volunteered at Y.A.P.S in Cairns when I was in Primary School with my dog-loving Best Friends.

During High School I did Work Experience at a Vet & applied to be a Vet Tech after Graduating; I got accepted but decided surgery wasn't my thing & applied for Animal Inspection & Welfare instead. I got accepted again but had to defer the course because I couldn't afford to be a student!!  

More about my Career choices & transferrable skills here.

I currently work with a Dog Boarding/Training Facility who have a Guiness World Record under their belt & have been overseas on numerous occasions to be personally trained by renowned International Trainers. I thrive on surrounding myself with new information & experiences that I can learn from; working with the wide variety of Dogs there provides epic learning experiences!

In learning so many techniques, I've had a lot of wins & I've also made the mistakes (just like you), we call those teaching moments xx You don't have to navigate them alone!

I aim to complete a Cert4 in Companion Animal Services when I find my footing & time for study; the highest recognised Dog Behaviour achievement in Australia amidst an unregulated industry.

I strive to always be learning how to create a cohesive life with Dogs!

We are in the Information Age, an Era of Self-Education. 

There will always be a way to progress, the learning never stops!

Although Terriers are my favourite genre of Dog, my approach is a universal one that highlights the differences between dogs & leans into their characteristics &/or personality traits. 

The quirkier the better ;)

Terrier & Bully Breeds/Mixes are my favourite because they are sweet, sensitive, commonly misunderstood, surrendered to shelters & take the longest to find homes; this is most often due to a lack of breed knowledge or general #CanineSensibility with regards to their needs & behaviours. 

I'm aiming to change that!

Terrier Heart Out started as a Community Outreach Dog Training Program; assisting those in dire need. It's a program striving for  Australian Canine Eudaemonia; on a mission of #ShelterPrevention by spreading education & joy!
