20.01.2022 Fat dogs aren’t cute, so stop normalising it.

19.01.2022 Would you look at his face This is Clay and he's a Leonberger, he is at the age where his hormones are kicking in! So he's getting super interested in other dogs on walks and has started pulling. He's also got puppy brain and is mouthing and jumping.... We had an awesome 1 on 1 consult with Clay, he was super responsive in the session and I'm sure you'll agree he's an absolute beauty.

18.01.2022 CHECK THIS OUT We have decided while these big changes are happening that people who are isolating themselves may not be able to get out as much and walk their dogs. That's where we come in!... Not only will we still be servicing the coast but we will now also service Hobart and surrounding suburbs. Get in touch to see if your suburb is included. Please note that Health and safety is huge when it comes to caring for your dogs, along with all businesses during this time we have upped our game and expanded our hygienic procedure when picking up and dropping of your dog. The crew at K9 Tracks appreciates this is a super tough time for alot of people - So please make sure you're STAYING SAFE and reach out if you need help.

17.01.2022 We’re feeling so lucky and appreciative to have clients who end up being friends and family

17.01.2022 Welcome to our 7 Tips to better behaviour!!! TIP 1. The Value of your Rewards! . . . . . . . . ... How you reward your dog for their training and behaviour is crucial, it’s dog training 101, the basics of basics BUT we see many get it wrong and then plateau or damage their dogs training and relationship. An effective reward is, of course, something your DOG finds rewarding, but not what YOU think they find rewarding. Here is the first error many make, you need to EXPERIMENT, the results may surprise you! Also, stop thinking of it as food, toys or praise, think of it as MONEY! This will make it easier for you to understand how your dog perceives and works for your rewards. We often hear my dog is not food motivated then as soon as we offer ‘Fritz’ or ‘cheese’ their butts hit the ground quicker then we can deliver it! The same with ‘my dog isn’t toy motivated’ but as soon as we add some exciting movement and make the toy come alive the dog is like game on!. If you do not have an appropriate reward for your dog, then your training will struggle. Here are some points to consider; 1. Your environment will change your rewards value, so aim for it to be high! A dog may work for chicken in your rear yard but in the local park it may find the smells, other dogs, people, sights and sounds far more valuable. You either have to beat it or you are not ready for that environment. For example, I would use ‘fritz’ in everyday training for Kato, but if training somewhere more distracting in public I would use cheese. 2. Is it easy to deliver? Crumbly treats or bulky toys will impede and distract, not assist your training. 3. Is the food reward difficult to eat? Dry liver and kibble aren’t as rewarding to many dogs as believed. If it takes your dog too long to eat, or crumbles everywhere you will struggle to maintain focus during your training sessions. 4. DON’T ASSUME what your dog finds valuable, it will make an ass out of you. but not me or the dog. Many might be trying to reward or correct their dog’s behaviour but in fact doing the opposite. Yelling stop it Fido! at a barking dog may be perceived as a rewarding to the dog (They got your attention) For example. Kato was a notorious cheese hound, but if you tried giving him physical praise as a reward you are by science punishing him. He didn’t care for physical touch, it wasn’t his ‘Jam’! 5. Make is SCARCE, if you use food as rewards, that food should only come in training. If you use toys, use a specific one for training then take it away. Make it a novelty, rare, A TREAT! . . . . . NOW LETS GET BUSY WITH YOUR FIRST STEP! Firstly we want you to try different rewards to discover what makes your dog go weak at the knees, what puts a wag in their tail, what floats their boat. Experiment with different rewards by asking your dog for simple obedience skills or a easy trick to see how your dog reacts. Then, here is the important part, WRITE IT DOWN AND ASSIGN A MONETARY VALUE to each. This will help you understand what your dogs best rewards and motivators are and how you can use it to benefit your dogs training and behaviour! Is it food? If so, what type? Chicken, cheese, Hotdog, Fritz (Devon or whatever you interstaters call it)? Is it toys? Is it manageable for your training? Can you combine the toy with food so you can get more repetitions in training? For example, can you reward with food then end with the toy and a game? Once you have experimented and assigned values then you will know what to use, when to use it and where to use it! DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE YOUR REWARD! It is your dogs currency and your training will be all the better for using the right denomination! ;) Also, do not let others bully you into feeling bad for using a particular type of reward, it’s your dog, you do what works best for you and them. Get cracking and EXPERIMENT! If you have any questions please feel free to ask them in the events page!

16.01.2022 Meet Arthur and Hugo - Arthur is a black standard Poodle and Hugo is a white Labradoodle. We got to visit these happy boys last week because Hugo has been making a pest of himself with some good ol fashion barking in the backyard and Arthur loves to jump up and mouth people. So we implemented a strong communication system for them both, started working on impulse control and also a leave it command. These guys have loads of energy so we discussed different options wit...h making sure their enrichment needs are being met. So happy to have these lads on board and cant wait to watch their progress! Where are all the poodles at drop us some pics below!

15.01.2022 Tate and I want to say a massive thank you for everyone who has supported us and believed in our vision through K9 Tracks. It is with a heavy heart that we have decided to relocate back to NSW to be with our family, covid is just to dicey at the moment and not something we are wanting to risk any longer. Tasmania has been a magical experience and It was a difficult decision to make.... We’ve built such beautiful relationships with all of your dogs and I’m honestly going to miss all of their little happy faces! So much love to you all, photos will be coming once we’re settled as I have a backlog. We will have an idea of what the next step for K9 Tracks is soon so keep your eyes on our page. Lots of Love Jaice and Tate xx Along with that we have had Keshia from Pitter Patters shadowing with us and comes highly recommended for any current or future walks!

05.01.2022 We've decided we would like to expand our business so that we can start to offer more and different services to the community. In order for us to do that we need to find some land. And this is where you come in, we need your help! Do you know someone who isn't using a block of land? It could be a vacant block, a block with a shed on it or even a house with some land. Ideally we would like to rent long term but everything is negotiable. Please get in contact and see if... what you have maybe suitable as nothing would be dismissed at this point. The only requirement is that it's within the Sorell Council Area. So as an example, suburbs such as Dodges Ferry Carlton, Primrose Sands, Dunalley, Lewisham, Sorell, Bream Creek, Nugent, Midway point, Penna, Orielton, Kellevie etc We're so excited to include everyone in the next step of our journey and are hoping word of mouth can help us find our dream property.

04.01.2022 Meet John the 14 week old French Bulldog. Boy was it difficult for me to focus on this 1 on 1 consult and not roll around on the floor like a weirdo with him while he was busy being adorable We went to Johns house as he was showing signs of snapping and growling with his human kids and at the vet. ... Johns household can get super busy and with him being so small and having a lot to adjust to in his new home we put a few rules down for the kids to follow to help him settle in easier. He had awesome food drive so we also used that to help with physically handling him in the house and also for when he goes to the vet. This was to ensure he didn't have any sensitivities when he was being handled. As he was already being crated of a night time we worked on making the crate more valuable so it was a space he could retreat to if he ever wanted to grab some down time. Such a cutie, We cant wait to hear how it all goes! Thanks for the recommendation Southern Beaches Vet
