Why bother with workshops? Aren’t they expensive and take a lot of time? 🤔

Because they offer a fantastic opportunity for a deep dive into specific topics, your own training skills and problem solving 🙌

Workshops are a worthwhile investment and intensive learning means teams often make a huge amount of progress in a short time ⏳

For me, workshops provide a great opportunity to get coaching and develop my skills to help my own students 📚

A big thank you to for making the long journey to Australia, we learnt so much and can’t wait to have you back next year 😜

We may have been quiet on the social media front but behind the scenes it has been everything but 😅

We are hosting Craig again for a variety of amazing workshops 🎉

Lots of fun and learning, and tired dogs 😴

There is a good reason for this. Their immune system needs time to develop life saving protection🦠

But socialisation is critical for healthy behavioural development, even before your puppy has completed their vaccination schedule 💉

Research shows that controlled exposure to novel environments, sounds, surfaces, and gentle people during the sensitive period (3–14 weeks) helps reduce fear and prevent future behavioural problems 😅

You don’t need to wait:

✅Arrange puppy playdates with socially appropriate, vaccinated dogs in safe environments 🐶

✅ Attend puppy classes with a well qualified instructor 👩‍🏫

✅ Invite calm visitors to your home 🏠

✅ Use trolleys or prams to take your puppy through new environments (parks, markets) 🏞️

✅ Expose them to car rides, grooming tools, and different household noises 🚗

Prioritise safety, avoid high-risk areas, but don’t miss this vital window for positive learning❗️

⚠️ Always give your puppy agency: let them choose whether to approach, investigate, or retreat⚠️

Positive socialisation is about gentle exposure and respecting their boundaries. Confident puppies grow into resilient adult dogs! 🙌

Enjoy the spooky vibes 👻

But remember that Halloween can be scary for our anxious or reactive dogs. Costumes, doorbells, and strange sights can be overwhelming 😱

Set up a safe, quiet space, turn off the door bel and give your dog a long lasting chew 🦴

If they struggle, it’s okay to skip the festivities and focus on their comfort first 😌

Happy Halloween from Creature Connections! 🎃🐾

Is age just a number? 🤔

When it comes to Mantrailing and scent work this definitely holds true ✅

Not only are they low impact activities that can be done at a slower pace, they may actually slow down the aging process 😮

Gentle physical activity, and maybe even more importantly, appropriate cognitive challenges are great at keeping your dog younger 🙌

While it is important to adjust activities for seniors if needed, and address any health issues, age should not be a reason to stop being active with your dog 🐕

How do you keep your senior dog active? Let us know in the comments ⬇️
