The Puppy Trainer

Lovely Lyla was disappointed to miss her pup Levi’s graduation last night. Although her parents attended in her place, she wanted to celebrate this special milestone with Levi.

This morning, I received this beautiful photo of them together. Lyla has been a dedicated participant in most of Levi’s training classes, committed to her pups training and continued success. 🐾 🐶

October Puppy Preschool is now complete. With six puppies and only four families, managing the group was twice the task. This evening's training covered lead manners, step-up, go round, and tunnel agility fun. 🐾 🐶 🐾 🐶 🐾 🐶 🐾 🐶

Last night's lesson was all about Place Training - think of it as teaching your dog to have its own 'chill zone' where it can hang out, relax, and just be calm.

These little paws 🐾 did a great job. 🐾 🐶

An enrichment feast was served, and these little pups had a blast trying out so many different options to enjoying their dinner…from lick mats to slow feeders, to egg cartons and muffin trays.

There was only 1 little shy pup amongst the lot…a little overwhelmed by all the action but he watched from a distance and had a little sneaky taste of a few goodies! 🐾

It's always heartwarming to see puppies and their owners learning together. Graduating from puppy preschool is a proud moment for both the pups and their paw-parents! Learning new techniques helps build a strong bond and good behaviours early on.

Tonight’s round of puppy graduates learnt lead walking techniques, step up and middle, along with a focus exercise to help with impulse control.

Tonight’s pups learnt place training, leave it and touch. 🐾 🐶 🐾 🐶

‘Place training’ teaches them they have a spot to relax which helps prevent over-arousal with guests coming and going, before heading out for a walk, or general busy movement in the home or out & about. Improving impulse control, like keeping them out of the kitchen while preparing dinner or out from under your feet.

I love training and educating paw-parents on their new puppies and adolescent dogs to improve behaviors, bonds, and teach them skills.

I also enjoy working with my own dogs and learning new things to excite and engage them.

Hiccup and Marmite at a recent scent search session. Pups are super smarter and exercise alone is not the only tool to tire them out. Their natural instinct in to sniff sniff sniff and this as a great way to work them out of their comfort zone.

A variety of puppy breeds at Saturday nights Puppy Preschool classes.

All had a great time working out the yummy enrichment smorgasbord activities on offer and their owners learning how these exercises work their brain and use their body to get true mental stimulation

Giving your dog opportunities to explore and activate their senses is not only exciting but also important for their wellbeing. It helps keep them entertained and lessens the risk of anxiety and problem behaviour.

Step Up was introduced as part of our fun little agility course at the end of our adolescent session this morning. They started out not know what to do with this step in their way…and within a short time it was understood and easy pezzy to do with no fuss at all!!

Sunday is such a fun day!! 🐾 🐶
