Graduation week is always a perfect opportunity to show off how far our doggies have progressed.
Trick training helps build bonds and is often more fun than training other behaviours.

The five Bronze class graduates have ample reason to celebrate. After completing the comprehensive 9-week course, they have acquired proficiency in fundamental skills such as sitting, walking on a loose leash, and practicing good food manners. They can look forward to the Silver level course in the upcoming term.

Help your dog be happy and healthy through enrichment activities

Dogs need regular mental and physical stimulation to be at their best. Enriching your dog’s life with a range of tailored activities means less boredom, stress and anxiety. They’ll also learn how to have fun on their own which can help alleviate separation anxiety issues. This all translates to better behaviour and a longer, healthier life.

A good enrichment activity should encourage movement and mimic behaviours your dog would need in the wild to satisfy their physical and mental needs, such as fetching and foraging.

An enrichment activity should not cause stress or anxiety. If your dog seems disinterested, hesitant or afraid, then the activity is not enhancing their wellbeing. Observe your dog carefully and come up with ideas that stimulate them and feed their need to do and explore.
