Manners for Paws is a personalised dog behaviour and training service located in the Inner Western suburbs or Melbourne, owned and operated by Behaviour Consultant and Certified Separation Anxiety Trainer, Sharon Nelson. Using rewards based dog training, we’ll help the humans and paws of your family learn to communicate with each other more effectively and help you recognise what motivates your do

g to want to learn and in turn, provide you with the behaviours you want. My goal is to help you and your dog live a life of harmony, calm and respect for each other. Dog training can build a loving and lasting bond with you and your dog, help build confidence, resilience and problem solving skills and allow your dog to be a happy member of your family. It's never too late to commence your training journey and I look forward to helping you along the way because 'you can' teach an old dog new tricks! :)

Happy Training!

🧡🤍💙 THANK YOU!

We appreciate kind words from our wonderful clients! 🫶

What a fun session with this little guy, full of playful and confident energy.

His Dad had already been doing some research and training so was all across markers - we love that, so today we worked on name recognition and recalls, drop and engagement games.

We also covered toilet training and biting to help them along.

Hope to see him again soon for our Manners Foundations course 🫶

Congratulations to these wonderful teams, completing our Manners Foundations course today.

So lovely to see their relationships strengthen each session!

Keep up the good work! 🫶

We had a great catch up session with Bonnie this week.

Working on name recognition and recalls, the emergency u-turn, with me and steps and how to stop jumping.

Looking forward to our next session 🫶

30/10/2024

Lovely to meet shortly and her folks today, newly adopted she’s settling into her new home nicely.

Today we covered markers, reward zone/placement, intro to clicker and place/bed training. We also covered the important and rules of tug play and gave some advice about biting and toilet training.

She was so fun to work with 🫶

We had a great catch up session with Maddie today.

She is so smart, we know working breeds are usually quick learners but she takes the cake. Picked up our impulse control to food exercise in less than 3 minutes, even with an open hand!

Dogs like Maddie need training and mental stimulation and when these needs are met, we find other problem behaviours start to reduce or disappear all together.

Her folks are doing an amazing job with her training, now they need to get out and about to new environments so she learns how to behave and respond to cues more easily.

20/10/2024

Lovely to meet this young lady today.

We’re going to help her with her confidence with dogs, especially barking out of sight dogs.

Today we introduced Bonnie to the clicker, find it and reward zone and placement (with me), in preparation for our lead training.

She’s a smoocher! 🫶

🧡🤍💙 BRAG POST

Chloe competed in two Rally Advanced Trials today and passed both, scoring 99/100 and 98/100 and gaining a 2nd placing in the second trial.

We also gained our Rally Advanced Title so will be able to add RA to her name (pending Dogs Vic approval).

Beyond happy with her work ethic, overcoming a challenging environment with lots of dogs around, our teamwork is growing more and more each time we work together.

Much love for my little lady 🫶

👏🏻 YAY FOR DAYLIGHT SAVINGS!

👉 THURSDAY EVENING CLASSES ARE BACK!

🧡🤍💙 Our next round of Manners Foundations lessons starting THURSDAY 17th October. Enrolments now available and spots are limited!

👉 Why choose our classes for your dog❓

Our classes focus on strengthening your bond with your dog through play and food games. We cover the usual manners and obedience type exercises but we also work on solid focus and engagement exercises, helping your dog become more responsive to your cues, allowing you to manage their behaviour more easily.

Our classes are small (no more than 6 dogs) so we can provide one on one support in a group setting with plenty of time for learning.

We also offer unlimited email support for the duration of our course!....and....we have pre-recorded vidoes of all the core exercises so if you miss a class, you can still catch up ahead of your next lesson.

👉 What will you and your dog learn❓

✏️ Socialisation - what socialisation actually is and how to train your dog in the vicinity of other dogs.
✏️ Our core exercises include sit, drop, stand, stay (implied), name recognition and recalls, lead walking skills and methods and leave.
✏️ Confidence Building - teaching dog new tricks and fun treat games that help build resilience and confidence.
✏️ Enrichment activities - teaching pups to develop problem solving skills with inanimate objects.
✏️ Creating a solid relationship through training, recalls, markers, lead basics, tricks and mat training.
✏️ Body language - how to read your dogs body language so you understand how they’re feeling and coping in certain situations.

🧡🤍💙 BRAG POST!

Entered our first Rally Advanced Trial today (first time off lead) and baby girl passed with a score of 97/100.

We were drawn 2nd place but pimped out on time, so back down to 3rd place!

The ground was wet so her first ‘drop’ was squeeezy and we lost a point there, her ‘about turn’ a little wide so lost another there and her ‘pivot into sit’ a bit clunky, but all in all she did well, pretty proud of her work ethic 🫶

05/10/2024

We had a great catch up session with Pippin today.

It’s been a few weeks since our first session so lots to catch up on and today we brain stormed some options to reduce his barking in the home, getting him out the front door and some confidence building exercises.

05/10/2024

We had a great follow up session today.

Working out the front on our foundation exercises including engagement, with me and emergency u-turns.

We also worked on place/couch, preparing Maddie for expected behaviours down the track.

She did so well today 🫶

03/10/2024

We had a great catch up with Rizaldy.

We caught up on their crate training, door closed, yay, nailed it! When we arrived, he was tethered and we love that, it prevents behaviours we don’t want, practiced and perfected when guests visit.

A lot of the time, guests create behaviour issues with dogs by reinforcing jumping and creating value in their visit for the dog and as the pup grows, the excitement gets more intense.

We also taught him the ‘leave it’s cue and he’s a quick learner!

Our New Puppy Program often has a set curriculum but we tailor our visits to suit the needs of our clients. New puppies can be overwhelming and we spend our time coaching families through these fun and challenging weeks 🫶

We had a great catch up session with Maddie today. Working on focus and engagement games and recalls 🫶

21/09/2024

Lovely to see this little guy and his wonderful human again. We met 7 years ago in puppy classes and today they sought help with some recent growling behaviour.

Even though at 7, he’s consider a senior in the doggo world, as dogs age or become injured, their behaviour can change and it’s important we assess and address these as soon as possible.

21/09/2024

We had a great session with Bossie yesterday. Continuing to work on the foundations is critical to progressing to the next stage.

Training for the environment, not in the environment is key!

She’s doing really well with her focus and engagement games 🫶

Lovely work with Macchiato tonight. He is still learning how to process his feelings when things scare him.
