Week 2 Update
**Puppies & Basic Obedience**
Play
Play is essential for building trust, confidence, and fulfilling biological needs. Incorporate cooperative games like fetch or competitive ones like tug. Use toys that match your dog's size and age—balls on strings, tugs, and flirt poles are great choices. Keep these toys special, only bringing them out during playtime.

Set up play cues
- "Are you ready?" before presenting the toy
- "Get it!" to start play
-*"All done/Finish" to end play and put the toy away.

Enrichment Toys
Enrichment toys are perfect for keeping your pup engaged but shouldn’t replace training. You don’t need to spend a lot—homemade toys are just as effective! Many of the toys we used today are from K-Mart, Pet Circle, or Temu.

Teaching the ‘Out’
The 'out' command helps your dog release a toy so play can continue. Start introducing obedience into play to teach your dog to respond while excited. Use small leash corrections or stop movement on the toy to encourage the release.

Setting Up Training Sessions
Less is more! Keep sessions short (2-3 minutes) and consistent—aim for 1-2 per day. Make it fun so your dog leaves wanting more!

Tricks
We had some extra time and introduced new skills! Puppies started learning ‘around,’ while Basic Obedience students mastered ‘around,’ ‘middles,’ and ‘paws up’—a great start to the ‘selfie skill.’

Extra Questions
We also addressed some concerns around resource guarding and dog reactivity. Keep an eye out for more tips on these topics in future sessions!

A couple of great fun classes with dogs and owners both engaged and building on their relationships!

We’re so excited to announce the start of our Basic Obedience Class for Term 1!

This class is designed for dogs aged 6 months and older, and it was wonderful to see such a great mix of familiar faces from previous group classes and services, along with some new faces ready to learn.

Week 1 is all about setting the foundation for success. We covered:
🐾 Building strong relationships with our dogs
🐾 Creating motivation to help them learn and grow
🐾 Managing their behaviour to prevent unwanted or dangerous habits
🐾 Introducing markers as an essential means of communication

The dogs and their owners did an amazing job taking in and applying the information, and it was so rewarding to see the beginnings of progress and connection. Every dog brings a unique personality, and we love tailoring the class experience to suit their individual needs and goals.

Our small class size, combined with the support of multiple trainers, ensures that every team gets personalised guidance while still benefiting from the social and dynamic environment of a group setting.

We can’t wait to see how these teams grow and develop over the coming weeks!

Term 2 dates for Basic Obedience are now open for enrolment. Classes will begin on May the 3rd.

We are thrilled to announce the start of Term 1 of our Puppy Foundations Class!

This 8-week program welcomes six eager puppies and their dedicated owners, and we couldn’t be more excited to begin this journey together.

Week 1 is always a favourite—it’s all about introductions, setting the tone, and laying the most important groundwork for successful training. Today, we focused on:
🐾 Building strong relationships with our puppies
🐾 Creating motivation to help them learn and grow
🐾 Managing their behaviour to prevent unwanted or dangerous habits
🐾 Introducing markers as an essential means of communication

We love the diversity in our class, with a mix of breeds, personalities, and enthusiastic owners. Our small class size, along with three trainers and our amazing NDTF student Samantha (currently completing her placement with us), ensures that each team receives personalised attention while enjoying the benefits of a group training environment.

Everyone did a fantastic job taking in and applying what they learned today. It’s inspiring to see how much potential these puppies have, and we can’t wait to watch them develop over the coming weeks.

This program is delivered in collaboration with Sharon from The Well-Mannered Mutt and hosted at Ted’s Place Adventure & Training Park.

Term 2 dates are now open for enrolment! Classes will begin 3rd of May.

Meet Digger! He's an 18-month-old Blue Heeler who has been a long-time client. He is obviously young and very energetic, a challenge for his disabled owner. We have been working on many things including calm behaviour and loose lead walking. He has come a long way in the time we've spent together, using some trick training and other brain engaging activities. He's a beautiful boy with a lovely personality. He has no outlet for his genetic behaviour so we have been inventive in finding other ways that can be easily managed at home. Researching the breed that you're looking to get is vital in ensuring that you can meet all their needs.

Meet Millie the Border Collie!
She is a lovely young lady with a spirited nature, reflecting the typical traits of her breed. Like many Border Collies, she exhibits certain behavioural traits such as jumping up on people, which is common due to her exuberance and desire for attention. Another characteristic is her lack of an "off switch," meaning she is always ready for action and rarely seems to tire.
During our sessions we worked on some trick training and scent work to engage Millie's brain, and she has shown us that she has a definite aptitude for these areas of training. Keep up the excellent work Millie, and I look forward to seeing you again soon. 🐾💜🩷💜🩷🐾

Molly’s Trick Training Journey



Does your dog lack focus and engagement with you? Does your dog suffer from a lack of confidence? Well, here is the perfect solution for you!

Molly is a 4½ year old Border Collie, and like many of that breed she was initially hard to connect with due to her hypervigilance in whatever is going on in the world around her. So began her foray into Trick Training!

Trick training is so much fun for both the human and the dog, and it helps you build a more fulfilling relationship with your dog. Molly started with tricks that suit her natural behaviours, such as fetching, targeting objects, and jumping. Several of the simpler tricks progress on to more complex tricks that become so much easier for them to learn as they already have the basic skills.

And now she has achieved four trick titles and shows great focus and engagement. Not bad for a 4½ year old.

If you are interested in Trick Training for your Pup, we can certainly help you to achieve this and more. Contact us at
[email protected] and get your trick training journey started with our many options available.

If anyone would like any private training sessions to continue their training journey, I have some availability. E-Mail me at sharon.thewellmanneredmutt@gmail for information and to book.
