If you have been thinking about raw feeding your dog and not sure how, where to start, this prepared balanced raw meal is a great place to start. All the guess work done for you.

I’ve been using these meals for over a month now, had previously been putting together my own bits and pieces, however my dog’s coat has never looked better, smoother and shinier on this food.

I admit I still like to add some crunchie small meaty bone, as for me there is nothing more satisfying than hearing the boys chewing on them !!

Forgot to mention where to get this complete ready made raw meal - The Pet Food Shop, South Geelong.

HUDSON - during his 30 min walk I did some obedience work too.

On our return he held a lovely drop/stay. Only being released once I said my release cue ‘ok’ !

Don’t forget to work your dog’s mind too, even out on a walk, you’ll find a more fulfilled, content dog on your return. Walking is great and I love going for walks with my dogs, however don’t overlook fulfilling their mind as well 👍🏻 throw in some sits/ drops and stays and recalls.

Just confirming that this new service will be available from 15 July.

If you’re looking for some extra help with your puppy/young dog why not book into a day Training/Socialisation session.

You’ll find a recent post as to what can be worked on during your dogs day with me.

Looking forward to being able to help assist owners and of course their doggies! 👍🏻

PUPPY CONSULT - 9 week ‘Wally’

I’ve worked with some different looking/colouring pups of late and Wally definitely is one of those.
I’ll let people take a guess at his breed ? Be fun to see if someone gets it! To be fair if anyone knows Wally, you can’t answer 😝

Worked with him and his lovely new family Friday evening and, as usual, we covered all the important things to help set Wally up to be successful in life. Ways to diminish those unwanted/less desirable habits and how to enhance and reinforce better ones. Help him to self regulate and not be too human dependant, which is super important as kids on school holidays and will be around lots for a few weeks and then not.

When bringing home a pup we want to start where we aim to finish. Letting things slip now can be a lot harder to ‘fix’ later in their life as it’s been rehearsed/ reinforced so often.

Wally showed, like most puppies, he could self settle and spend some time away from his human pack. Super helpful because once school holidays done, he’s going to be spending way less time with his family. It’s only fair to help prepare him.

Don’t forget to post you guess on what breed Wally is, I’ll post answer later!

If you’re looking for some help and guidance having recently welcomed a new addition to your family home, why not book your very own 2hr puppy consult. To do so, either phone Sonia
Ph: 0438 730 428 or email [email protected].

NEW SERVICE ON OFFER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TRAINING / SOCIALISATION DAYS
PUPPIES 12 WEEKS – 6 MONTHS
DOGS 6MTHS – 18 MONTHS

Here at ALL 4 PAWS I’m always looking at ways that I can further assist owners with their puppies and young dog’s growth and development.

With that in mind, I will be offering - twice a week sessions where owners can drop off their dogs to gain some extra help with the following –

- Loose lead walking
- Mat training
- Obedience – teaching/training the basics and building on duration
- Manners – impulse control
- Building on confidence levels (shy nervous unsure dogs)
- Grooming – assisting dogs to be more receptive to the handling of being brushed, nail clipping, washing & drying)
- Play – retrieve / tug (owners may be struggling to achieve play with their puppy/dog and wish to build on it more)
- Fun trick training

On offer will also be the possibility of dogs experiencing some off lead supervised socialization/play, this will be very much dependent on the dogs in on the same day being suitable. (Paramount - dogs need to be enjoying themselves and finding the overall experience fun to gain from participating).

Dogs that aren’t suitable or keen, will still get to enjoy some off lead freedom to run and frolic in one of my two large dog enclosures.

Also provided throughout the day will be adequate time to rest, settle and learn to be content in a crate, whilst other dogs are being worked/trained. Dogs do not need to be on the go all day, they do require time to rest, especially after training, or after a run and play session, this is especially more so needed for the puppies and young dogs.

This service will be offered at $55.00 per day per dog.

WHEN - TUESDAY & THURSDAY (BOOKINGS REQUIRED - Ph: 0438 730 428)
• Payment made via direct deposit day prior to session
• Limited to 4-5 dogs per session

🐶Drop off between 8.15 – 9.00am
🐶Pick up between 4.00 – 5.30pm

** Dogs will need to be dropped off / picked up from my property in Mount Moriac.

There will be the option of me picking up and/or dropping off, however the cost for this service will be $80.00 (strictly limited to travel being no greater than 20km one way and agreed upon by ALL 4 PAWS)

C’mon mum !!! Hudson always wanting to work, however time for him to know it’s now time to rest.

NEW INTAKE !!!

PUPPY CLASSES - 8 - 16 weeks

🐶 When - Sunday 27 July
🐶 Time - 12.00pm
🐶 Duration - 6 weeks
🐶 Week 1 no pups attend 2hrs
🐶 Weeks 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 - pups attend 1hr
🐶 Cost - $180
🐶 Class size - 4 to 6 pups

Puppy classes should be more than about teaching basic commands and fun tricks. Setting off with a good basic foundation and understanding of how to set puppies up for success in everyday life is super important.
These classes are geared towards covering the following -

🐾 Crate / toilet training;
🐾 Engagement (verbal markers);
🐾 Play - good v not so good;
🐾 Sit, drop and recall foundation
🐾 Handling skills - grooming / vet visits;
🐾 Lead handling - to aid walks;
🐾 Supervised appropriate puppy interaction;
🐾 Self settling;
🐾 Understanding socialisation; and more !

If you have recently welcomed home a new family member, or soon will be, booking into a puppy class is definitely something to do sooner rather than later. The best age to get cracking with your pups learning, and yours 😝 is between 8-16 weeks.

To book and secure your place in this next upcoming intake please contact Sonia either by email - [email protected] or phone
0438 730 428.

Look forward to being able to assist you with your new puppies !!

‘Happy’ the Papi and doesn’t he look like his name ! 😝.

Happy is currently doing Nosework classes with me on a Monday afternoon and has shown to be the natural to this work !

Mention must be made of Alice and Envy too. This week both of them came along in leaps and bounds with their more determined approach to ‘finding’ the scent item !!

Everyone is doing such a nice job throughout the weeks, hard to believe next Monday is the last class. Looking forward to seeing them all nail it Monday 👍🏻

PUPPY CONSULT- ‘Teddy’ 10wk Dachshund

How gorgeous is this little fella. His colouring is so different 😍 and he’s a wee little cutie too!

i had the pleasure of helping out his owner with gaining a better understanding of setting him up to be successful in life. The usual things were covered like how, when and why crate train, setting up good consistent structure via rules and boundaries for Teddy to understand what is expected in the home he is growing up in. Ways to help pup be more successful with toilet training and overall just getting in place a good foundation from which this little cutie can flourish !

🐶 Puppy consults are a great way to help set owners off on the best foot possible and can alleviate the confusion that sometimes arises from listening to so many conflicting pieces of information that come from internet, friends and family. They are conducted at your home at a time that is convenient to owners and information is also emailed to you after the consult to help keep everyone on track !

If you have recently welcomed home a new puppy and looking for some help and guidance why not contact me Sonia on Ph: 0438 730 428 or email [email protected] to book your consult.
