Welcome, Benzo! 🐾

Today, we had the pleasure of teaming up with Certified Assistance Dogs Australia for a Home Maintenance 101 session with their newest trainee pup, 15-week-old Cobberdog, Benzo! 🐶✨

Benzo has a high-maintenance coat, so it’s vital we start a grooming routine that will support his unique needs and keep him healthy and happy. Establishing this foundation early will help him thrive in his future role as an assistance dog! ✂️💕

In Home Maintenance 101, we cover everything Benzo’s carers need to know: the WHEN, WHAT, WHY, WHERE, HOW, and WHO of grooming! From basics to desensitisation and home-care techniques, they’re all set to keep him looking his best between professional grooms. 🪮✏️

Thanks again to Certified Assistance Dogs Australia for a wonderful session!

Welcome Duke! 🐾

We are excited to be teaming up with this gorgeous Mastiff X puppy and his family to expand on his obedience, build stronger communication skills and creating safe habits for all ages when it comes to that big dog energy ✨

Watch this space for all of the 10/10 good boy content ✌️

Welcome Lena! ✨

We have had the privilege of working with Lena's lovely family on many occasions over the last few years from grooming to training with their pups.

In true working dog style, Lena is a high-spirited Border Collie puppy with no shortage of energy or curiosity to explore. Even after tackling some early surgical intervention for joint health, Lena remains as connected and engaged during her training sessions as ever!

Our main areas of focus for Lena are creating a positive foundation of habits and routine. Not only will this help her become a well-balanced canine citizen, but it also fosters and strengthens the human-canine bond with her family 💜

Welcome Cleo! ✨

Cleo is an adorable 7-month-old Boxer with a keen interest in some err... "creative landscaping" 🪴😅

Digging and chewing non-food related items can not only be really frustrating and costly but it can also be a vet visit waiting to happen...

Although this behaviour is extremely common during the puppy exploration phase, there are several things you can do to help your new companion choose a demolition-free form of enrichment and save the landscaping work for the real green thumbs, right Cleo? 🤭

Welcome Team Daisy & Lucy! 🐾

Whilst these adorable 9 month old Cavoodle sisters share everything from parents to identical upbringings, it is fascinating to see how chalk and cheese they are when it comes to personalities and needs.

When training in a multi-dog household - it's important that we establish what each dog needs to thrive as an individual and developing a training program that supports them and their owners to strengthen their bond and communication to create a harmonious lifestyle individually and as a team.

In today's session we began with getting to know the girls 1 on 1, introducing mental enrichment strategies to address some developing challenging behaviours, alleviate separation anxieties and started on some foundations for good door etiquette.

By the end of the session, Daisy demonstrated a preference for crunchy foods in a stationary enrichment item like snuffle matts or food puzzles whereas Lucy enjoys being able to lick and work on feeder balls that offer the added challenge of movement. Both girls are excelling with the door etiquette, quickly engaging with mum and switching from vocalising / jumping at the door and bursting through to choosing a quiet sit and wait on entry and exit. Well done mum & puppies! 👏

We're excited to see their growth in future sessions - watch this space! ✨️

Welcome Team Daisy! 🐾

A case of the Doggy-door doubts 🫣

After the early days of following mum & dad through the sliding door for toilet / play time, a new doggy-door addition had Daisy the 6-month-old Retriever a little confused & hesitant to step through alone.

After a session of body awareness and confidence building games, we are happy to report Daisy is welcoming her new-found independence with ease! 🥳

Stay tuned for what's next for this adorable girl ✨

Happy Mother's Day to all of our hooman & fur Mums 💐

Welcome Team Walter 🐾

There is something about watching the fear and stress melt away from an owner's entire being that just affirms why we do what we do 🧡

Walt is a 2-year-old Labradoodle that struggles with the unpredictability of strangers and children in his space and has been known to nip, growl and bark in the past leaving his owners (rightly) worried for the safety of visitors in their home.

With the help of our very own TGSA Jnr Trainer in training, Ayrton whom Walt had met several times in the past, came along to assist us with showing Walt some calming techniques and desensitisation to a multitude of scenarios under safe guidance and monitoring, even becoming best buddies by the end of the session!

We are so proud of the team effort of everyone today and cannot wait to update you on more progress from Walt soon ✨

Welcome Team Monty 🐾

At a mere 15 Weeks Old. Monty the wee Maltese-Silky has a big personality already with a dash of typical challenging puppy behaviours too 🫣

It was great to see some improvements with just a slight tweak of his daily routine and swapping his favourite snack of clothes & toes for toys, treats & training. ☑️

We are also tackling Monty's battle with the bath 🛁 & brush 🪮 in the grooming desensitisation program ✂️

We look forward to seeing Monty's growth 🧡

Welcome Team Tate 🐾

Can you relate to your dog not having an off switch? You're not alone!

When we first visited Tate, his pawrents were at their wits end with some really common struggles:

- Excessive barking
- Separation anxiety
- Ineffective high-drive outlets and;
- Parental resource guarding

Whilst there is still a lot of work to be done, we have seen some huge progress being made already and cannot wait to see and share more of Tate's journey soon!

We Will Remember Them. Lest We Forget.

PIPPIN & WINNIE 🧡

This pair of fun-loving pups have been absolute besties since their early weeks at Puppy Pre-School. They still get excited to see each other months later and even happily share a loose lead walking session together with their pawrents - so wholesome! 🐶🐾

ARCHIE 🐶

Mr. Archie is a gorgeous & gentle giant that is... until he is faced with new people and doggos.

As an XL breed, anxiety and fear-based reactivity can often be intimidating, isolating and quite honestly - dangerous to navigate without professional intervention.

That's where we come in...

Within our first session, we were able to safely switch Archie's walk from a reactive and tense experience to a relaxing, positively engaged outing full of enrichment.

By session two, we added in a bonus visit to the outer perimeter of the local dog park to practice some relaxation and disengagement in a more distracting environment which he is absolutely nailing!

Well done Archie! We look forward to seeing more progress in the future ✨

Narla - 11 Weeks Old🐾

Can anyone else relate to the new puppy blues? 😵‍💫

When a rambunctious new family member arrives, it can often be difficult to navigate the early bonding period when toileting mishaps and puppy teeth-terrorising troubles arise.

✨ OVERSTIMULATION ✨

Often, we find a lot of the undesirable behaviours, particularly those exhibited by baby canines are due to overstimulation. Puppies need approximately 16 hours of solid sleep per day with mentally stimulating enrichment during their waking hours to productively manage those busy, growing brains. 🧠

This is no APRIL FOOLS... TGSA has indeed rebranded! 🤩

After so many of you asking, we have finally taken the leap and we are so floofin' excited that we could pop! 💥

In addition to our Puppy Foundations course, we are thrilled to announce that TGSA now offer our Canine Confidence & Lifestyle Training through affordable, private 1:1's for doggos of ALL AGES! 🐶

Just like us, our furry companions thrive when they feel secure, self-assured, and ready to take on the world! 🌍 And one of the most paw-some ways to boost their confidence? You guessed it: lifestyle training! 🎓💪

🐾 What IS Canine Confidence & Lifestyle Training? 🐾

It's not just about teaching Sit, Drop, Stay. It's also about creating a positive space to tackle the tough stuff like toileting troubles, the finger & toe nibblers, the 'DE'struction workers, the resource guarders, escape artists, pullers, barkers, hyperactive, anxious, reactive and so much more. No matter the problem, we assist with shaping a lifestyle that empowers you and your pup to confidently navigate the world 🌍
