Cafe Dogs Perth were on point this morning with hot coffees (delivered by our good friend Angela), along with sweet biscuits, plus special doggo treats kindly made by one of our cafe dog handlers Julie …
Week 4 shows a big difference from the first week with all dogs much more settled and comfortable with the common cafe distractions (challenges).
Looking forward to next week when we test our skills at a “real” cafe where everyone can practice multitasking (dog wrangling whilst enjoying a coffee and food) with the help of experienced trainers to help keep the environment safe …
Stay tuned for updates!

Puppy Development … letting puppies explore and discover in a safe managed environment, observe from a distance, experience new sights smells and sounds, meet new humans with the option to move away … all in short bursts so they don’t become overwhelmed.

This little gang of gorgeous Siberian Huskies took a trip to the Banjup Local today.

Thanks for testing my puppy wrangling skills and trusting me with your babies

A recent memory of me and Stellar doing what we love! I so miss running this girl, she gave me her absolute best … always focussed, fast, calm and collected, willing and so bloody perfect ❤️ in my eyes …

Over the last 25 years of competing in agility, this girl is the best team mate I’ve ever had … and such a great ambassador for the Malinois!

Puppy Development is tailored to specific needs and is designed to support puppies through their early stages by providing them with opportunities to observe, explore and interact at their own pace, in safe environments with decades of experience on the other end of the leash … giving breeders the confidence that all situations will be handled appropriately and give puppy a library of experiences to build their life skills ❤️
