Kate's Copper Coast Dog Training

When Miss Flossie returned to training she had no idea she'd be taking the first steps towards making dog friends.

It took few minutes but soon she was happily sitting by another dog. A really good step forward. Well done 🙂

Life did life things and this page got put to the side again but... New year, new dogs so lets give this another go starting with Halle.

She loved all the extra attention today. Halle warmed up to us quickly and soon discovered the long line can be a lot of fun 🙂

Little Daisy and her young handler started today and I can't wait to see where training takes them.

To Chase there is nothing more exciting than exploring. He is quite adventurous for a little dog, always on the look out for someone to make a fuss of him or a new smell to sniff.

Another new face to our sessions, Missy (Mystique). A very sweet puppy who only wants attention and love 💙
It didn't take her long to discover coming back to her humans when called brings good rewards. #dogtraining #positivetraining #dogsofbluesky #dogs #puppy #australia #SouthAustralia #Moonta

Louie was a treasure of a dog, it took him time to accept other dogs but once he was comfortable a switch flipped and he was happy to learn and play.

We've had a new face join us in the past few weeks. Archie :)

Archie loves anyone who will give him attention and a cuddle.

Always enjoy watching Crufts but the Rescue Dog Agility is a highlight every year. Lovely to see the dogs enjoying life and having fun.

Little Miss Bella proved a lot of personality can fit in a tiny body. Never a dull moment working with this ball of energy. #TrainingMemories #dogs #dogsofbluesky #jackrussels #littledog #personality #SouthAustralia #dogtraining #Positivetraining

This was the day I discovered his love for hats. Diego whined till he was let pick one and sulked when it fall off.
One of many #TrainingMemories I'd love to go back and experience all over again. #dogs #memories #Labs #ChocolateLab #goodboy

Do this job long enough and you'll encounter some truly special dogs, this goofball is Diego and believe it or not he was my first "challenge dog" as a young handler.

Always helpful Jasper. He never missed a chance to help pack up his activities at the end of the session.

Also.. look at those ears 😭 they never did choose between standing and being floppy.

Lil was a special one, she started training earlier than most, and was one of the pups who inspired my early puppy video course.

So other pups like Lil can learn and get a safe head start at home.

I have never had a dog more motivated by cuddles than Zahli was.
Treats? Maybe.
Toys? If she felt like it.
Cuddles? She'd do anything asked of her.

Ooo... I love him 🥰

Words to live by as a trainer.

Without fail the dogs deemed "too hard" by others become favourites to work because I am always, as all good trainers should be, learning right beside my clients.

Oli was an absolute charmer and he knew it, unfortunately he didn't always understand that not every dog was as impressed with him as he was. #TrainingMemories #Dogs #PositiveTraining #dogsofbluesky #dogtraining #Australia #SouthAustralia #Moonta

A blurry Bella. This smiley girl was always ready and waiting to be given her next task. #TrainingMemories #dogs #dogsofbluesky #happy #australia #collies #positivetraining #smile

And yes, that tiny bit of lead on his collar is from him eating through a lead... upgraded to a much stronger long line after that.

After a horrible 47C this week... it's finally cool enough to think again so back to posting good dogs.

George was the first "doodle" mix to come through my program, energetic does not begin to describe him. #TrainingMemories #dogtraining #positivetraining #floof #dogs #dogsofbluesky #Australia

This handsome gentleman is Teddy, he is fearful of many things but has been making great progress. Today discovering the strange lady with cheese isn't so bad. #collie #dogs #pets #AussieDogTraininer #dogtraining #positivetraining #dogsofbluesky #SouthAustralia #Moonta #summer #progress #love

Here's Baby Ari and her best friend Boss. They were both very happy and just wanted love. Both masters of the art of puppy eyes.

Today's spotlight is Wisky.

She started with us in November of 2024 year and has a few unique challenges from her past but thanks to her family Wisky is starting to thrive and gain confidence.

Tonka started off a bit shy and very unsure of other dogs but only a few months later a more confident Tonka had his final session on the beach in 2023 and loved it. #TrainingMemories

Tank was a special little guy, born with a improperly formed pallet. Didn't stop him from filling his days with excitement and fun or being an absolute joy to work with. #TrainingMemories

Bit of a nostalgic one today with Mack, one of the dogs I worked with back in my days of volunteering with an organization called Labs'nLife, a sadly they are no longer around but the lovely #TrainingMemories remain.

Bonus photo: That ice-cream toy in the grass survives to this day as my longest lived squeaky toy and is still used regularly as a reward. #PositiveDogTraining

This absolutely stunning girl is Leia, she loved being the center of attention. An absolute star. #TrainingMemories
