Chasey time!!
Participating in chase play stimulates profound social expansion in dogs, equipping them with fundamental skills in inter-canine communication, emotional intelligence, and personal boundary awareness, resulting in the emergence of well-adjusted adult dogs.
These dogs made the most of their playgroup session, reinforcing their skills and reveling in the thrill of playtime with their pals.

Ollie and Mannie are improving their 'stay' performance, aiming to increase their waiting duration and the distance their owner can be away from them. Well done boys!!

Class today
A fun morning class to kickstart our day!
Fun with doggie friends, old and new, in tonight play group
Fun with doggie friends, old and new, in tonight’s play group. Seems Billy and Obi have a new running pal … Freya!! Ollie and Mannie were happy testing out the new swing 🤣
Charlie the toy poodle is ready to hang ten! 🏄🏼His balance is paw-some! 😂
We done Muffin!!!
Great support from Muffin’s owner to help him work this out!! These two are a dynamic team !! See her foot work to help stabilise him when he needs a bit of assistance. With her support he doesn’t over balance to quickly so as to get a fright and not try again. By the end of class, he was attempting spins on it!!! (It’s in the group video below) What a great team they make!
Take a bow, spin around and around and around …… 🤣 - a fun night with our clients and their dogs in playgroup tonight🤣
Who did it better 🤣🤣Dogs vs their owners 🤣🤣
You never know what fun things will happen in playgroup, but this was a first 🤣🤣
I call it: Who did it better, dogs or their owners 🤣🤣
Playgroups are for having doggie fun! Controlled, safe, closely monitored fun!!
Today’s “Train and Play“ class. Some are young little puppies learning foundation skills, some are new to training and learning to focus on their owners, some are working on their social skills, some are here to build their confidence around other dogs and some are learning new tricks. Just as importantly, they are all having fun!!!!
Benji!
I think Benji and Sammy are getting some practice runs in before playgroup tonight 🤣
Bless you Ollie!!!
He’s been learning to “sneeze”
Clever boy!!! 🐾
Some class highlights that we managed to capture on video:
Penny started learning “clean up” She learned to fetch the toy, pick it up, bring back and then put in the box. Her next step will be to have a few toys scattered on the ground and pick up one at a time and put in box.
Mannie learnt to get the toy, pick it up and bring back to his mum. Next step will be to learn to drop in the box. (They will no doubt practice at home!) Mannie lost interest in the toy and that’s ok, we instead taught him to get into the box.
Sammy too was learning to get in the box.
This was a lot of fun though as it was quite challenging for both the dogs and us!!
Tonight’s playgroup adventures!!
Chino’s day!! 🐶 ….. so far …..
Chino is very new to training and the following video shows are some very impressive new things he learnt today! Last week he wasn’t very confident in attempting to go up one ramp. He hadn’t done any jumps through hoops and wasn’t confident trying new things in general. He was also very easily distracted around other dogs.
Look at this little teenager today!!! ⭐️
He is currently snoozing on the couch because he will be in playgroup tonight before his loving family pick him up.
Some great focus starting to show from these little ones during playgroup 🐾
Some great focus starting to show from these little ones during playgroup 🐾 Self control and good choices demonstrated as well 🐾 It’s nice to see the positive changes taking place and a maturity show in our little ones as they learn and continue to practice new life skills 🐾
New friends
New friendships made in class today 💜 10 week old Milo and 10 month old Chino attended their first puppy class today and both did really well.
Check out Lily’s playful pounce move caught on camera 🤣
Billy and Ted
When he wasn’t running around with his favourite playmate Ted, little Billy started learning to “wave”
Playgroup sessions are about having fun with friends!
