Two Golden Retrievers lay in the shade
Samson and Louie

We were scared of getting a dog trainer and feeling judged as we tended to let things slide with our dogs and weren't on the ball with their obedience.


Keryn did not make us feel like that at all! We eventually found the solution to our problems and we are so much better off for it! Louie and Sam are overall better behaved and listen to us now and we are so stoked with the result.


Thank you again Keryn for your help!

Two Russian Toy Terriers
Tito & Tonka the Russian Toy Terriers








Super helpful and supportive. Didn't feel like I was failing even when I had to ask for assistance along the way. Still a work in progress, but now I have the skills.


Thank you, Keryn.

A Golden Retriever Dog
Benji the Golden Retriever

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Keryn. She is the ultimate professional who has a wealth of knowledge and was able to provide a tailored package to my family’s needs. Keryn is down-to-earth, honest, reliable, friendly and a great communicator.

I could see positive changes in my dog’s behaviour in a relatively short period of time and most importantly, I have the skills to cope with situations that may arise in the future.

Keryn goes above & beyond and it is clear she truly cares and is passionate about her work.

I would highly recommend her. Thank you, Keryn.

Keryn has been a lifesaver. We adopted/rescued a 2-year-old border collie who'd been mistreated and had no training. We asked Keryn to help with her multiple issues and the training and support she gave us has been invaluable. Nala still has a little way to go but she has improved immensely - something we couldn't have done without Keryn's help.

Highly recommend Keryn - her training really works.

Keryn was absolutely amazing. She gave us the simple tools we needed to help have control over our 1.5-year-old Kelpie and helped us have a better relationship with him. Keryn explained things clearly and is easy to talk to and clarify anything in the training. She is also thorough and listens and understands what issues we were having and offered solutions on what to do.


She also is so happy to help us outside of the one-on-one training, including emails and text messages if needing extra assistance/clarification.


She honestly changed our lives with us now knowing what to do with our dog, as well as making it enjoyable again when taking out him outside and when family and friends come over. My family and friends have already said how much better our dog has become after 4 sessions with Keryn. Thanks again! ☺️

Chocolate Labrador
Zai the Labrador

Keryn has been fantastic to work with.


We have had in-home training sessions with our Lab from around 16 weeks old up until recently, 1.5 years old - with gaps in training throughout that time. As a first-time adult dog owner, my confidence was terrible when I first met Keryn.


Fast forward, we have a beautiful fur baby family member who is a great support to my young son who has ASD - and also a beautiful companion for myself.

From household manners to travelling well in the car, to being out and about off lead… we have come so far. Keryn remains in our life forever and is only a call away when/if new bad habits arise, and we need some help and guidance. We would have a menace of a Lab if not for all of Keryn’s help.


THANK YOU KERYN!!!!

Keryn was amazing. The things she taught us in just 4 sessions was incredible and our dog Alfie has learnt so much and is so much more obedient. My partner was very sceptical but now highly recommends Keryn to anyone we speak to. Thank you, Keryn.

Just have to say, this is a wonderful training program. The mixture of resources is fantastic, the videos are so well done, particularly with the examples of dogs doing the exercises, and the opportunity to hear other people's stories/progress is really encouraging, especially with your answers Keryn to queries along the way. It's nice to know that we're all in the same boat.


Donna with Archie the Cavoodle 7.8.2024 (Online Program)


My partner and I came to Keryn (through a referral I will be forever grateful for) quite beside ourselves as to how to manage our 18-month-old Labradoodle Enzo. Enzo was on the whole a delightful, smart, affectionate dog albeit a little undisciplined (due to us) but he had also exhibited some troubling behaviour (polite version). The concerning troubling behaviour was around resource guarding and thinking he was the boss. He had snapped at me god forbid he did it to one of the grandchildren.

We were so comforted by Keryn - her honest feedback and commitment to helping us work on teaching Enzo boundaries, manners and how to be a well-socialised dog. We have come such a long way - Enzo and us. We are now much more responsible dog owners and on the whole Enzo is really a delight. We know his boundaries and he ours. We will never totally trust him around children and appreciate Keryn's clear guidance about the not negotiables. We are so grateful for her support. We were so close to rehoming and we now have a lovely dog to enjoy. I could not recommend her more highly and have loved working with her.

Don't sleep on this business. Keryn is a magician; We saw results after our very initial session. She has the patience and guidance of a saint. I can't thank her enough for her help to support me in training our dogs. One million thanks again Keryn.

A Border Terrier Dog holds a drop stay
Basil the Border Terrier

We cannot recommend Keryn highly enough, her training method and program are transforming our lovable but feisty Border Terrier Basil into a lovable responsive dog able to use self-control to overcome his previously spontaneous reactive behaviours. During our Cheeky Dog Foundation training course, Keryn provided us with a comprehensive 'toolbox' of training skills presented in a clear, logical and well-structured progression. The change in his behaviour during the few short weeks of the course has been remarkable and is continuing to improve in the weeks since the course.

Keryn always made herself available to answer questions 'out of school hours' which has been a godsend when we encountered little hiccoughs in our translation of her training methods. In summary, Keryn provided a thorough and well-thought-out program which was comprehensively communicated by an absolute professional. We will certainly be undertaking more training sessions once we have consolidated our foundation training.

You will be doing your dog and yourself a favour when get Keryn to guide you on your training journey.

Keryn was great. The program gave us lots of easily implemented instruction to get our beautiful crazy girl under better control. Highly recommend Keryn and her puppy assistants.
