Everyone falls in love with the cute puppy stage… and honestly, who wouldn’t? 💛

But the secret behind a great family dog isn’t luck.

It starts with choosing the right puppy from an ethical breeder who prioritises health and temperament. Genetics matter.

Then it’s about what happens next.

Taking the time to understand your puppy’s body language, meeting their physical and emotional needs, using positive reinforcement, teaching life skills with kindness, preventing problems before they begin, and making sure they get plenty of quality sleep while they’re growing.

Nature and nurture both matter.

Every interaction shapes your puppy’s confidence, resilience, and trust in the world around them.

Because the goal isn’t just to raise a cute puppy.

It’s to raise a happy, confident, well-mannered family dog who genuinely enjoys being part of your family. 🐾

Whether you’d prefer to learn at your own pace with one of our online puppy programs or work with us one-on-one through a private consultation, we’re here to help you give your puppy the very best start.

Many dogs travel well in cars but there's a number of laws you must follow to ensure their safety and comfort.

Late Tuesday night Molly our golden retreiver 16wo pup started vomiting clear frothy saliva looking fluid, vomiting every 30min so I didn’t sleep much. She ended up on a drip for 2 days with a very sore tummy. Initially suspected a foreign body or blockage but nothing on xray except solid poo so e***a was given which worked so that meant they didn’t go into surgery with her. 😓
She came home Thursday evening. Poor puppy has had a rough week too!
I’ve come to the conclusion that out of everything she could have been chewing that would have made her so sick is that it was a Dragon tree plant we had outside for repotting 🤦‍♀️😭
These plants have nasty stuff called saponin that causes awful gastric upset.
She’s well enough to give Wh***ey our male 16wo pup, a good rough & tumble but a bit off her food.
There’s various types of dragon trees so I’ll put those in comments for people’s info.
Also very toxic to cats.

Absolutely. More importantly 4 on the floor as my 1st desired behavior.
I guess many people think it makes the dog stationery & safe. But that’s not necessarily so.

Sit, Sit, SIT! There definitely a place for teaching Sit to dogs, but could everyone lighten up & be more thoughtful about why you’re ordering your dog to sit for everything! 🤯

The other thing to consider is how realistic is your request & are you setting your dog up to repeatedly fail just so you can “correct it? That’s not fair or reasonable training & is very outdated. I see this all the time at the dog park - a high distraction environment which is not ideal for training.

Miss Audrey was ordered to sit by a random delivery guy today 🙄 Yeh, nah! 😂
