Toni is amazing. Give your dog all of the tools they need to succeed. With Toni’s help you can create a relationship with your dog that is happy, healthy and so much fun. A trained dog is a secure relaxed dog. Call her and find out ♥️♥️🐾

🐾 DON’T WAIT UNTIL THERE’S A PROBLEM TO START TRAINING 🐾

One of the things I wish more dog owners understood is that training isn’t something you start when your dog becomes “bad”.

Training is how you teach your dog what you want from them in the first place.

Sit. Stay. Come. Leave it.

But also:

✔️ How to walk nicely on lead
✔️ How to settle when exciting things are happening
✔️ How to cope with being handled
✔️ How to disengage from other dogs
✔️ How to respond when called
✔️ How to make good choices around distractions
✔️ How to cope with frustration
✔️ How to safely be around people, animals and everyday life

And yes — recall is important.

Your dog may be friendly. Your dog may love every dog they meet. Your dog may have never shown a hint of aggression.

That doesn’t mean they’ll always make the right decision when something exciting, frightening or unexpected happens.

Training gives you communication.

It gives your dog boundaries.

And it gives you something to fall back on when the environment doesn’t go according to plan.

You don’t need to wait for your dog to develop a behavioural problem before asking for help.

In fact, preventative training is one of the best things you can do for your dog. ❤️

🐾 Start early.
🐾 Be consistent.
🐾 Reward the behaviours you want.
🐾 Get help before a small problem becomes a big one.

Your future self — and your dog — will thank you.

Sadly due to unexpected lack of interest and bookings the Dog Education Centre- Daycare and Wildlife Wranglers Victoria will NOT be running Canine Snake Bite Prevention Training, here at Pampered Pets Wycheproof from the 17-19 of October 2026.

After seeing my first snake here this week, I am so disappointed for those who wanted to participate. I hope that we may get some interest between now and Christmas and we are lucky enough to be placed at the end of this summers training run early next year.

If you have ANY INTEREST AT ALL, please call the Dog Education Centre on the number below and register that interest. I am not running this training I am just hosting it for this area.

⚠️ PLEASE TELL US ABOUT RASHES AND SKIN CONDITIONS BEFORE YOU ARRIVE ⚠️

Today a dog arrived for grooming with a rash that the owner was already aware of. They believed it was simply hot spots — unfortunately, we are concerned it may be contagious and have recommended a vet visit.

Until we know otherwise, we have to treat the premises as though it could be something highly contagious such as ringworm.

And that has a MUCH bigger impact than people may realise.

🐾 Grooming has to stop while affected areas are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
🐾 Louisa and Mikaela lose income and today’s clients have to be rescheduled.
🐾 Boarding dogs need to be kept away from affected areas instead of enjoying their normal play and activities.
🐾 Our time is spent disinfecting surfaces, equipment and the environment instead of caring for and playing with the dogs.
🐾 Some contagious skin conditions can also infect people.

We completely understand that most owners aren’t vets and may not know what a rash is — we don’t expect you to diagnose it.

We just need you to TELL US BEFORE YOU ARRIVE. ❤️

A quick phone call, photo or even mentioning the rash when you arrive gives us the opportunity to decide how best to manage it without potentially exposing an entire grooming salon and boarding kennel.

If your dog has redness, sores, scabs, hair loss, weeping skin, unusual itching or ANY unexplained rash — please let us know before bringing them in.

It might be nothing.
But please let us know so we can make that call. 🐾

When the sun is out and the weather is nice, it’s even more fun to play with your friends, sniff some interesting sniffs and learn some new games. I love this job. 😍🐾
