4 Weeks of Cuteness 🐾📸

We had so much fun capturing some group photos now that the puppies are 4 weeks old — they’re growing fast and starting to show personality!

Here are a few of our favourites from today’s session featuring:
💛 Avery Anna & Ella Langley
❤️ Jelly Roll & Post Malone

Each one is showing early signs of the gentle, people-focused nature we look for in Cobberdogs suited to therapy roles or as loving family companions.

More photos to come soon — we can’t wait to introduce each of these little individuals properly! And for the lucky families that are getting one of these pups check your emails for "pupdates" and Meet & Greet day coming in a few weeks.

Introducing Post Malone
4 weeks old – Male – Rich Caramel

Post Malone is a beautiful puppy from our Billie x Elvis litter, with a stunning light-density coat that offers a soft texture and natural lustre.

Even at just 4 weeks of age, Malone is showing early signs of a confident, people-focused temperament. He is calm when handled, offers gentle tail wags during interaction, and already seeks connection through eye contact and quiet affection , often resting his head in our hands for a quiet moment or giving soft chin kisses. — a quality we value highly in Cobberdogs destined for therapy, assistance, or companionship roles.

We look forward to watching him develop further as we begin structured enrichment and early assessments in the coming weeks.

🐾✨ Exciting News! ✨🐾

I’ve just written and launched the Therapy & Assistance Dog Recognition Program for the Australian Cobberdog Society!

If you have a Cobberdog currently working in or training towards a therapy, assistance, or school wellbeing role — this program is for you. 🐶💛

It’s our way of formally recognising the incredible contribution these dogs make to the lives of others, and to honour the work you’re doing together.

Please check it out and get in touch if you’d like to be part of it.
Let’s celebrate these amazing partnerships and the difference they’re making! 🌟

🐾✨ Introducing the ACS Therapy & Assistance Dog Recognition Program! ✨🐾

The Australian Cobberdog Society is proud to launch a new program recognising the incredible work Cobberdogs are doing to support their humans and communities.

Through this initiative, Cobberdogs can now be recognised across three meaningful categories:

🔹 Therapy Dogs – Working in structured Animal Assisted Therapy settings such as hospitals, aged care, and allied health practices.

🔹 Assistance Dogs – Supporting their owners directly with tasks like medical alerts, pressure therapy, retrieving items, mobility support and more.

🔹 School Wellbeing Dogs – Providing emotional support and connection to students and staff as part of school wellbeing programs.

Recognition levels range from Bronze to Platinum, celebrating their training, impact, and commitment.

Open to all ACS-registered Cobberdogs. If your Cobberdog is registered with another society, you’re still welcome to join the ACS and apply.

This is a flexible, owner-led recognition program based on real-life work and dedication. It's not a certification or accreditation process. 💛

Throwback to Two of the most exquisite girls in their winter woolies.

17/04/2025

🐾 Lainey Wilson – 3 Weeks Old
Lainey has a stunning light-density straight coat in vibrant caramel—this girl doesn’t take a bad photo! She’s got real supermodel energy. Curious and keen on scenting, she settles quickly and seeks out calm contact. A very cool, grounded little pup.

🐾 Jelly Roll – 3 Weeks Old
This big sweet boy has such a gentle presence. He’s a little on the shy side right now, preferring to quietly observe and listen—but he’s already tuning into scent and sound really well. He responds to my voice and settles easily with gentle contact. Such a soft, thoughtful little soul.

🐾 Tucker – 3 Weeks Old
Tucker is solid in every sense—big frame, grounded nature, and already positive associations with human interaction, with lots of tail wags and chin kisses.

16/04/2025

🐾 Avery Anna – 3 Weeks Old
Sweet Avery is gentle, calm, and beautifully aware of what’s happening around her. She has an intense copper light density coat.

16/04/2025

🐾 Ella Langley – 3 Weeks Old

Ella has such a lovely softness to her—exceptionally pretty, dark gold, with a calm, steady gaze and a sweet, thoughtful way of taking things in.

🐾 Chappell Roan – 3 Weeks Old
This girl has a real presence about her. Deep dark caramel coat, soft eye contact, and already showing a calm curiosity about the world. She’s one to watch—grounded and gentle.

Meet Lovelocks Wildflower – aka Poppy!

Our hearts are blooming with excitement as we introduce this gorgeous girl from our Daphne x Obi litter. Poppy is a cool caramel stunner with a soft fleece coat, gentle eyes, and an already sweet, soulful nature.

She’s a standard-sized pup with a calm, intuitive temperament—exactly the kind of companion we aim to nurture at Lovelocks.

Poppy will be growing up with love and care as part of our guardian program, and if all goes to plan with her health testing, she’ll join our breeding program in the future to continue the legacy of sound, connected, therapy-apt Cobberdogs.

We can’t wait to watch her blossom!



Thanks to
For the photo update.

City Adventures for Little Wanda!
Today we swapped paddocks for pavement and headed to Kangaroo Point for a stroll across to the Botanic Gardens.

Wanda took in the sights from the comfort of her pram — ferries ⛴, scooters 🛴, big crowds 👫👨‍👩‍👧‍👦, and friendly faces — all part of her big puppy socialisation adventure!

We wrapped up with a stop at the park, where Wanda absolutely nailed her sit-stay training ✅ with a little help from her awesome Aunties 🐾.

Big day, big wins, and even bigger puppy eyes

🐶🎓 Crate Training 101: Why ONLY High-Value Rewards in the Crate/Pen? 🏡✨

When teaching puppies to self-settle, the crate or pen should feel like a safe, positive space—never a punishment. That’s why we only use high-value rewards (food) inside! 🦴🥩

🔹 Why Food?
✅ Puppies naturally love food, making it the ultimate positive association
✅ Keeps them engaged & relaxed while settling in
✅ Encourages calm behavior instead of frustration or whining

🔹 What to Use when actively rewarding calm bevaviours?
✔️ High-value treats (real meat, cheese) 🧀
✔️ Boiled Chicken, Raw food like mince

🔹 What to Use when leaving pup to self settle? ✔️chews (bully sticks, yak chews) 🦴
✔️ Stuffed Kongs (raw food, peanut butter) 🍖
✔️ Chicken Wings 🐔

💡 Toys? Not Yet!
Exciting toys can create too much stimulation, while food encourages relaxation & contentment. Once they’re confident & settled, enrichment toys can be introduced!

By pairing the crate/pen with delicious rewards, puppies quickly learn that their space = calm, happy vibes! 💛
