This little pup absolutely loves playing with toys! 🧸🐶 From soft cuddly toys to all sorts of fun playthings, toys are a wonderful way for dogs to enjoy themselves, stay mentally stimulated and burn off a little energy.

For puppies, like gorgeous little Mille, toys can be particularly useful during the teething stage. Chewing is a natural behaviour and helps satisfy their need to chew as their baby teeth fall out and adult teeth come through. Having appropriate puppy-safe chew toys available can help redirect those little teeth away from furniture, shoes and fingers!

A little reminder, though: all toys, particularly soft toys, should be used under supervision. Soft toys can be ripped open, allowing puppies to swallow stuffing, squeakers, ribbons, buttons or other small parts. These can cause choking or dangerous intestinal blockages. Rope toys and rubber toys can also become hazards if chewed apart or swallowed.
Regularly check toys for damage, remove anything that's starting to fall apart and choose toys appropriate for your puppy's size, age and chewing habits.

Playtime should be fun, especially for curious little puppies, but keeping our furry friends safe always comes first! ❤️

🐾 Today’s class was all about having fun, exploring different activities and tackling obstacles with our dogs!
From navigating equipment to trying new challenges, these activities are a fantastic way to build body awareness, coordination, balance and physical fitness. They also encourage problem-solving, focus and confidence, while strengthening the bond between dog and handler.
It’s wonderful to see each dog having a go, learning at their own pace and discovering what they can achieve with a little encouragement and positive reinforcement.
And of course, there was plenty of much-loved social time too! Because learning and having fun with friends go hand in hand at Small Paws. ❤️🐶

Seven-month-old Toy Poodle Luigi enjoyed a lovely late afternoon of daycare at Small Paws today.
He had the opportunity to meet my doggies and little Millie our staycation guest, enjoying some social time, new friendships and plenty of exploring.
And this gorgeous boy certainly has a cuddly side! He's an absolute snuggle bug and is more than happy to enjoy a little affection between all the fun. 🥰
A lovely afternoon getting to know our newest little visitor! 🐶💕

😂 A big hairy tarantula and an unexpected Paddington Bear in his yellow raincoat turned up to class this morning! 🕷️🐻🌧️

We headed undercover and got stuck into a range of activities, with thunder rumbling and lightning flashing in the background. And what an amazing group of dogs we had! Not one was bothered by it all. Well… except Mannie, who was more concerned about the embarrassment of being seen in his yellow raincoat! 🤣

Thunderstorms and lightning can be frightening for many dogs, so it’s important to help our little ones become comfortable with the different sights and sounds they might encounter in everyday life. We love providing safe, positive exposure to the world around them, always at their own pace.

A special mention to little Millie, who didn’t give the thunder a second thought. She stayed beautifully focused on her balancing activities like a little professional! 🥰

A huge well done to all our fabulous class dogs and their humans, who braved the elements to make sure their little ones didn’t miss out on their training, fun and catch-ups with classmates.

Rain, thunder, lightning, tarantulas and Paddington Bear… just another morning at Small Paws! 😂🐾

🐾 Three happy little faces and a whole lot of fun at Small Paws! ❤️
Stella came along for a private play date, Cheeky Face enjoyed a full day of daycare, and little Millie continues her staycation with us.
These three had an absolutely fantastic time together! Lots of play, plenty of fun and some lovely interactions as they got to know each other.
It's always so special watching new friendships blossom and seeing little dogs enjoying each other's company. Looks like we've got some beautiful new friendships forming! 🐶💕

The doggies at this week’s playgroup were extra playful and full of zoomies! 😂🐾 There was plenty of running, chasing, bouncing about and having fun with their familiar furry friends. It’s safe to say they had a fabulous time burning off some energy and enjoying being dogs! ❤

🐾 Millie’s Long Weekend Staycation begins! ❤️

Four-month-old Millie has arrived for her long weekend staycation with us at Small Paws Dog Services, and this adorable little Toy Cavoodle has plenty of puppy energy to keep us busy! 🐶

Today has been all about spending quality time together, helping her settle in and making sure she feels comfortable in her home away from home.

She’s been spending time around my dogs, giving her opportunities to observe and learn some important doggy social cues and etiquette. We’re working on keeping those enthusiastic puppy greetings polite — no jumping straight into everyone’s faces, thank you very much! 😂

We’ve also been sneaking in some important real-world learning. Millie isn’t a fan of loud, sudden noises just yet, so we’re gently working on helping her feel more comfortable around unexpected sounds and introducing her to the sorts of things she might encounter out in the big wide world — roadworks, building sites, big machinery and tradies coming to visit. All at her own pace, with positive experiences and plenty of reassurance.

Of course, there’s been some basic training tucked into the day, too, working on her focus, attention and ability to follow instructions. Learning can be fun!

Then it’s been time for some puppy silliness, exploring tunnels and tentatively investigating the ball pit. We let Millie decide when she’s ready to give new things a go, rather than rushing her. There’s also been a fair bit of chewing happening, as those little puppy teeth are busy doing their thing! 🦷

And between all these exciting adventures? Plenty of regular puppy naps! Growing, learning and exploring is hard work, and little puppies need lots of sleep to process it all. 😴

It’s only 3:30 pm, and Millie is off enjoying another well-earned snooze. After a big siesta, who knows what adventures this little pocket rocket will get up to next! ❤️🐾

At Small Paws, it’s not just about having fun. It’s about helping our little guests develop life skills, learn good manners and build positive associations with the world around them, all while feeling safe, supported and loved.

🐾💕 My Penny on the right and our little guest Cheeky Face, snuggled up together and drifting off to sleep. 🥰

These two are just too cute! ❤️ One curled up on my lap, the other stretched across my legs, both fast asleep and completely content.

Of course, that meant I was officially trapped until they decided nap time was over! 😂🐶

Honestly, who would want to disturb such precious little faces? 💕

🐾 Tilly headed home this morning, and tonight it was Cheeky Face’s turn to arrive for the next couple of nights!

At just 2kg, she might be tiny, but she’s certainly a little expert when it comes to claiming the best cuddle spot on the couch! 😂

She’s all tucked up, keeping me warm and enjoying those cosy cuddles.

Nothing like a little couch snuggle to kick off another home-away-from-home stay at Small Paws! 💕
