⭐️ Did you know our puppy playgroup sessions are run by Ally and we have a maximum 3 pups to 1 staff for every session?
⭐️ We help pups to develop social skills such as reading body language of different breeds, build confidence, learn responsible play and practice calm in other’s presence amongst some important lessons.
⭐️Sessions are drop off/ pick up @ipetstore.au and can be booked via the website.
✨Monday Night Tip ✨
Yes I probably sound like a kill joy here but trust me when I say you will get over your pup wanting to say hi to everyone they come across especially when you start to work on loose leash walking.
All behaviours are driven by reinforcement, if they pull to get to a stimulus and you allow it the behaviour will continue to occur.
Not only is it dangerous if you can’t read dogs body language, it creates habits you don’t want and it is not responsible socialisation.
Responsible socialisation is about the environment becoming neutral to our dogs and you are so much better working on YOUR relationship with your dog not with some random stranger and his “friendly” oodle 👍
This is what it is all about 🥰
Sprinx & Karl
This clip was taken after Sprinx’s final session of preschool yesterday so needless to say she was quite tired.
What I love so much about this is when she gets it wrong her dad just laughs it off and goes again.
One of the main reasons Sprinx is loving the training is down to her dad’s positive attitude and the fact that he makes it fun.
It just makes my heart melt that this beautiful German Shepherd is able to show her dad just how clever she actually is because he is willing to put in the effort. Not only is this enriching her life it’s also creating great habits early on while building their bond 😍
This is out one of the many behaviors Sprinx can carry out in a different environment and she has just hit the 4mth mark.
Love your work Karl - Sprinx is definitely headed for the stars ✨✨

Here is the perfect set up for your new puppy!
A space that is their safe little retreat helps to not only build confidence but also manage unwanted behaviours and give other dogs or children in the home a break.
All items can be purchased from @ipetstore.au
** if your pup is not liking the crate or pen please do not push it, reach out we can help.

With all the new pups about I know so many pet pawrents that are keen to get a cute pic to post or send to friends and family.
Here is my top tip to get the cutest pic of your canine regardless of age 😉
✨Monday Night Tip ✨
Adding this into your training regimen is so important!
Start when they are young and just practice being in the environment and observing.
So often ppl are on the move, not allowing our dogs to take in and learn about the world around them.
While it’s cute that they want to say hi to everyone it is just rehearsing bad habits and never fails to become problematic down the track.
A HUGE HI PAWS for our second Puppy Primary crew who graduated this week with flying colours 🎓
A classic example of when you do the homework ( 10mins per day spread over 5 or more sessions) our dogs can achieve amazing results.
All 3 of these pups are under 5 months of age and over the course they not only learnt to carry out advanced behaviors with distractions but also build their bond through communication, trust and having fun while learning. 🥰
Love your work Friday crew! Thanks for choosing Paws Plus again! 🐾
Congratulations to our first Primary Grads of 2025 🤩
This fun trio attended our intensive course which involved 4hrs of class time over 8 days!
Huge kudos to the humans of this group who put in the homework and never once wavered in class when things got challenging or their pups had trouble grasping a concept.
They showed their canines that they were willing to meet them where they were at and teach with patience, kindness and humour 🥰
What a pleasure it was to have you all along, I only wish I had more footage of your highlights!
Enjoy showing off those new tricks!

Touch is such a great foundation behaviour that is often overlooked!
