Wait List is now open for October Proprioception Classes.

DM me with your details to get on the waitlist!

But if your still unsure about what 'Proprioception' is, then stay tuned and check out details below to learn why you should be doing proprioception with your puppy or dog.

Proprioception refers to the body's ability to sense its position, movement, and balance in space. It’s an internal sense that allows an individual to know where their body parts are without having to look at them. For dogs, proprioception is essential for coordinating movements, maintaining balance, and navigating their environment.

Proprioception training involves exercises and activities designed to enhance a dog’s body awareness and control. This type of training can improve a dog’s agility, prevent injuries, and boost overall confidence. Proprioception exercises typically focus on strengthening the muscles, improving joint stability, and enhancing the dog’s ability to respond to changes in terrain or environment.

What is Proprioception and Why Does It Matter for Your Dog?

Proprioception is your dog’s ability to sense and control the position, movement, and balance of their body. It’s how they navigate the world, from jumping over obstacles to gracefully running through a park. For dogs, proprioception is essential for maintaining flexibility, stamina, balance, confidence, preventing injuries, and staying fit as they age.

Incorporating proprioception work into your dog’s routine helps strengthen their muscles, improve coordination, and enhance overall body awareness. This type of training is not just important now, but it’s crucial for their future. As dogs grow older, proprioception exercises can help them stay active and reduce the risk of mobility issues, allowing them to enjoy a longer, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

Investing in your dog’s proprioception today means you’re investing in their well-being for years to come. It’s about ensuring they can continue to move with ease, confidence, and joy, well into their golden years.

Myth BUSTED

When I began in the dog training industry some %\ yrs (let’s just say a long time ago) I discovered some pretty big myths about training puppies and dogs existed, and most them are wrong and most of them still exist today.

My favourite myth…

My puppy can’t go to puppy school until it’s fully vaccinated - 100% untrue, but there are simple precautions that you can take to protect your puppy.

But by far the most important thing for all new and yet to be puppy owners to realise is that puppy school is your puppies ‘behavioural vaccination’.

So when you think about the importance of routine puppy vaccinations between 6-16wks you MUST include your puppies behavioural vaccination into your protocol.

Are you expecting a new puppy?

Maybe you know someone who is.

Perhaps you’re becoming confused by the multiple options available to you for training your puppy.

Or maybe you’re conflicted about when your puppy can start going to training.

Which ever it is help is only a phone call away.

I'm thrilled to share an exclusive offer for you, running till June 30 2024. I know how much you love giving your doggos the best, and this special offer is just for you!

As a fellow dog owner, I recently transitioned both Bear and Storm to Lyka from a homemade/cooked diet. After analysing cost, time and overall happiness, Lyka emerged the clear winner. The results have been fantastic for the Manners 'n' More Canine Crew.

Here’s why we love Lyka:

Cost: Lyka was just $8 more per week.
Time: I saved 7 hours a week by not having to prepare and source ingredients.
Doggos: Bear now dances with excitement for his food, and Storm’s coat condition has never been better.
Convenience: Best of all, it’s home-delivered, saving me even more time and money.

Overall, it’s a High-Paw of approval from our furry friends!
So, what’s the offer? For the month of June, new customers who use my unique coupon link will receive 50% off their first box. Normally, it's 30%, which is already generous, but 50% is amazing!

Woofs for now, Colleen

1 week left for you to give Lyka a go and get your first box 50% off.

Read below as to why I now feed Bear and Storm Lyka.

As Bear begins his journey as a Cadaver (human remains) detection dog, I feel nutrition is as ever important to hold my boy in good stead for such a task.
