🐾 Super Puppy Preschool – Week 3 🐾

This week was all about expanding our pups' skills further + some confidence building fun✨

Our pups worked on:
✔️ Engagement games & focus exercises
✔️ Recall practice with mild distractions
✔️ Loose leash walking practice
✔️ Mat skills
✔️ Impulse control progressions
✔️ Confidence-building with tunnels, ramps, unstable surfaces & ball pits
✔️ Puppy enrichment activities
✔️ Destructive chewing behaviour chat

So many big steps forward for our little learners 👏

Super proud of the progress!

✨🐾 Clarity Builds Connection 🐾✨

Without solid communication channels, everything else will eventually fall apart — whether under pressure or not. That’s why these building this clarity with your dog matters above all else.

Clear markers, consistent cues, and reliable training structures that set your dog up for success build the kind of understanding they can take direction from in any environment.

Focus on your foundations, everywhere you go, and every day of the week. 👊🐶

[ BASICS GROUP CLASS ]

👏 Week 3 done and dusted I’m so impressed with our Basics Obedience crew!

All the dogs are building quality foundations that will set them up for real-world success with their humans.

It's great to see an array of dogs and humans, with differing goals all working together to get it done ✔️

Amazing effort from all so far – keep it up! 🐾💪

If you’re after support or are interested in starting your dog’s obedience journey and want to elevate your relationship, this is the group class for you! We offer a supportive and safe space for all to grow and learn.

Our October intake is nearly at 2 full classes – just a couple of spots left, so don’t miss out. 🚀🐶

💛 R U OK? 💛

The pet industry is one filled with heart, passion, and care — but it’s also an industry where for many burnout, compassion fatigue, and mental health struggles too often live quietly in the background 🙋‍♀️

For pet guardians, the weight of responsibility and the pressure to “do it right” can feel overwhelming, especially when challenges with your dog leave you questioning yourself. Behind the smiles and the love, many of us are carrying silent struggles.

👉 Today is a reminder: You don’t have to carry it alone.

Whether you’re a trainer, groomer, allied health professional, vet/vet nurse, kennel worker, or a dog owner doing your best — if you’re not OK, please reach out for support. Talk to a friend, a colleague, or a professional.

We are 🐾

Checking in with someone could make the world of difference and put you on a positive path. And if you’re struggling yourself, know that asking for help is not weakness — it’s strength.

💬 Start the conversation.

💛 You matter.

🐾 We’re all in this together.

This is so true 👇 and it’s something I always keep front of mind with the special people I am able to support....

Every dog, every owner, every family and home is unique. Training should reflect that.

To ignore these differences isn’t just unhelpful—it’s doing a disservice.

Truly great training adapts to the dog and human in front of you, not just a trainers cookie cutter checklist.

Many trainers carry a universal vision of what every dog should know: sit, down, heel, place, etc.

But dogs do not live in universals.
They live in households with particular rhythms, families with unique dynamics, and people carrying their own needs and limitations. A universal checklist can feel reassuring to the trainer, but too often it leads to teaching skills that have little to do with the client’s actual struggles.

In many cases, that checklist becomes a crutch, used in place of creating the thoughtful and unique training plan the client truly needs.

When training time is spent mastering skills that aren’t directly relevant, frustration grows, follow-through suffers, and the dog’s issues remain unsolved.

The true measure of training is not whether the dog completes our imagined list, but whether harmony returns to the home. It is about seeing clearly what matters most to this dog, in this family, at this moment.
