Stirling is getting ready to move into his new home. With a fancy robovac in the new home, his Mum is doing great work helping desensitising Stirling.
Fantastic seeing some of our clients join in our 2 week pop up leash walking class to work on progressing their leash walking in vicinity of other dogs and distractions. Great work everyone!

Spring is here and we’re excited to welcome puppies to our Baby Puppy program!
Stirling is our young vibrant Goldie boy. He’ll be joining the assistance dog program soon. Such a lovely doggo.
Team Raphy are smashing it in sunny Springwood. From excessive pulling and jumping on people, Raphy has much improved. We’re now enjoying training in more built up areas and practicing greets when invited along with ignoring when appropriate. Great work Raphy!
Team Mellow we’re working our way through Westfields Penrith. Our current challenge is building confidence and resilience with narrowing parts of the mall, escalators and increasing pedestrian movement.
Congratulations Akira that just@passed her annual PAT with MindDog. #minddog #penrithdogtrainer #forcefreetrainer #positivereinforcement
Team Mellow have smashed the train concourse & lift. We now begin working on the platform with lots of ‘look at that’ whilst Mellow orientates to the environment. Then leash walking will begin when she’s ready. Look at that is a great way to help desensitise your doggo to new experiences before to help them learn new experiences, patterns.
