Mental stimulation matters!
Just like with humans, mental decline in dogs can creep in slowly. Snuffle mats, simple games, and easy puzzles can keep your older dog thinking, sniffing, and staying connected to their world.

Congratulations to Archie, Chloe and Attie that completed our Good Manners course on the weekend.
Lovely to see keen students learning about their dog’s needs, building their bond, whilst developing some Good Manners and handling skills.
Unfortunately one of our students missed graduation day this time.

Congratulations to our graduates from Baby Puppy & Senior Puppy classes! New classes starting Sunday 13 July!!

A massive congratulations to all of our wonderful students and their puppies. All of these gorgeous puppies graduated from either Baby Puppy or Senior Puppy group classes today. Everyone did an amazing job joining class, contributing and working together for the betterment of not only their own puppy but also the other puppies in the class. We had some quiet puppies, party puppies, the whole mix. They all learnt how to interact with different puppies along with learning how to read their dog's body language so they could make good choices to support their puppies. One of the most important things when starting out with your puppy is to build a bond and make sure your puppy trusts you and feels safe. When they feel like you have their back, they feel more supported and willing to give more situations & training a try. We certainly saw that with these gorgeous puppies.

No doubt we also did training and worked on scenarios for real life situations. We also started working on taking their puppies out safely in the community for fun outings to get ready for family outings like going to the river, a park to sniff and stretch their legs or go to the beach.

A fantastic time for everyone. I want to send a big thanks to everyone who made these classes fantastic. Thank you!

We have new classes starting Sunday 13 July. Have a look at our courses and we'd love to show you the ropes, to get you on the right path and also have a great time learning along with your puppy.
