We asked our friend Olivia Brumen at Heart & Soul Tattoo Melbourne to create a colouring sheet for us, and she absolutely nailed it!

Our new sheet is perfect for keeping kids entertained at dog-friendly cafes, pubs, or shops, while also teaching them how to safely greet dogs.

We’ve been working on a range of resources to support our favourite dog-friendly businesses, which you can access anytime via the QR code on our ‘Good Dogs Welcome’ stickers.

You can download or print the sheet for free here:https://gooddogbehaviour.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/How_To_Greet_A_Dog.pdf

If you’re a business, it’s a great addition to have on hand for little visitors. Dog trainers, feel free to add it to your resources when working with families. And if you spot one in the wild, don’t forget to tag us and use !

We’re going to miss this guy so much ✈️ ✈️

Harry has been part of our Good Dog family for a while now, from brushing up on his training foundations to preparing for the arrival of a new baby (he even featured in our online baby prep course!), and most recently, getting ready for the biggest adventure yet: relocating from Melbourne to Berlin!

In the lead-up to the move, we focused on crate training and building his confidence around the kinds of things flying can throw at him, including airport noises, settling in social settings, suitcases, and neutral interactions with other dogs and people. He smashed it of course due to his amazing owners putting in the work.

Wishing Harry and his humans a safe and smooth journey. Berlin is lucky to have you.

Grateful for everyone who’s reached out this year and booked in for a little help with their dogs 🙏

Hard to believe we’re already past the halfway point of 2025. Spots are filling up quickly over the next few months.

We’ve been doing this a long time now, and still, nothing beats being welcomed into your homes, sharing a coffee while talking about your dogs, and helping you get more out of life together.

Thanks for inviting us into your homes every day!

This little dude is growing so damn fast.

When Sport first came home, I wasn’t prepared for just how much I’d overthink everything. Even with a solid plan, I found myself constantly second-guessing, worrying I wasn’t doing enough and feeling like, as a dog trainer, his development had to be perfect from day one.

I took a leap putting it all out there, filming his first 12 months, from training to how we live with our dogs in our family home, to everything I’ve been teaching my puppy clients over the years, and the response has been awesome. Thanks so much to those of you who have jumped into our online course so far.

While there’s still plenty of work ahead, Sport is turning into such a lovely dog, and I'm proud of the dog he's becoming.

Were you prepared for your dog or puppy when you brought them home?

Awesome to catch up with Cooper and his owners this week, who have just welcomed a new baby into their home! They’ve been working hard through both private sessions and our online baby course to build strong engagement, play, clear markers, and obedience. All of which are essential foundations to helping ensure the new relationship is both a happy and safe one.

Our Puppy Starter Course is now LIVE! 🐶💻

If you’ve been following along with Sport’s training journey over the past 12 months, we hope it’s given you a few helpful tips or at the very least, inspired you to do more with your own puppy.

Our new course is designed to guide you through the entire first year of your puppy’s life. From toilet training and biting to socialisation and confidence building, this online course is packed with the tools and knowledge to set you and your puppy up for long-term success.

Just brought a puppy home or planning to soon? Get instant access via the link in our bio.

1 year ago, Sport came home. In just under a week, we launch our Puppy Starter Course — an online puppy course that guides you through the entire first year of your puppy’s life, from socialisation and training to preventing common problems before they start.

Got a new puppy (or one on the way)? Comment ‘PUPPY’ below and we’ll send you instant access to the full course at exclusive EARLY BIRD PRICING before it goes live!

A huge thank you to everyone who’s enrolled — we’ve absolutely loved seeing your dog + baby updates and being part of your growing family’s journey 💛

Petey the Groodle has been working with us to address some resource guarding issues, sharpen up his recall, and learn how to relax in busy cafe and pub environments. A big part of the focus in his program has been strengthening his training foundations and making sure his owners have a clear, consistent communication system in place.

Go Petey! 👏
