Due to the recent surge of inquiries and discussions with numerous individuals highlighting the need for a professional dog training class for new owners in Dubbo, I've decided to come out of semi retirement and launch a Joinville dog class. Age bracket is 4 months to 12 months and all dogs must be fully vaccinated.
We can also accomodate owners of older dogs with observation spots and you will have access to the Private FB group and be able to ask questions.

Here’s what you can expect:
- Classes will be held on Saturday mornings, with additional support available on Private Facebook in between sessions.
- The program consists of four sessions.
- Each class will be limited to six teams to ensure personalised attention.
- You will benefit from the guidance of two instructors to assist you throughout the course.

What you can expect to learn:
Sit in front of you and in heel position
Down in front of you and in heel position
Wait/stay
Recall/come
Settle on a designated spot
Engagement through play
Walking on a loose leash
Door and gate manners

You may have learnt some of these things in puppy preschool which if fabulous but we will take it to the next level for you with distraction and helping you navigate the teenage months with you new dog.

You will also have access to notes on other topics on the Private FB group and the option to ask questions between sessions.

We welcome you and your dog to join this class with the understanding that you will complete your assignments and fully commit to the training process.

More information to come on cost and dates soon.

Let me know if you are interested below.

Small Dog Shy Dog is cancelled for this coming Saturday 30th May. The grounds are just a little bit too wet and slippery.

I keep getting a lot of enquiries lately re owners with young dogs wanting help.

I predominantly only do dog boarding and dog therapy work these days and run the occasional recall class.

So what I have decided to do is run a once a week ASK ME ANYTHING. I will pick one of the questions and answer it and offer up solutions.

Let's start tonight and see what you have for me.

Shine and Scooter had a day out today and went for a drive to Narromine. We had a lovely time doing some jobs and then having lunch at Soul Foods. There is a good little outdoor area where you can have your dog.

During our break from boarding dogs, we haven't been idle. Instead, we've been busy renovating the indoor space for the dogs in our care. The area now feels much brighter and more inviting. While there are still a few minor tasks to complete, we're almost finished and ready to welcome the pups back!

Here is a couple of before and after pics.

I saw someone do this on FB so I thought I would give it a try. Geez I love this dog, her perfect side step was amazing.
