Check out Ralph’s first attempt at “Leave It”last night.

While there was about 2-3 mins prior training to this, how brilliant did this exuberant boy do at this really hard behaviour ?!? 🙌🙌

Pretty much weekly I see ppl asking their dog to “leave” something without actually teaching the behaviour. This is only setting the dog up to fail and will never work. Our poor dogs don’t instantly know what a word means. We need to teach them.
Kudos to Luke his human here for for such brilliant communication and timing with his marker word 👏

Want to learn how to teach this and do much more? Jump into one of our Primary classes. While these classes are always booked out 4-5 weeks in advice, we currently have 4 intakes for August with availability!

Big Brother Status: Activated 🐶👶

This cutie just got a brand new baby brother, and while he’s still working out the “what is this tiny thing doing in my house?” part… we’ve been setting them up for success!

Before a big home renovation kicks off, we’ve focused on reducing stress, setting up the right environment, and keeping their lives enriched and calm. 🏡✨

It’s easy to assume that having another dog at home means your pup doesn’t need socialisation — but early structured socialisation outside the home is critical for every puppy. 🐾💛

We’ve got a range of Puppy Preschool classes on offer — don’t miss your chance to give your pup the best start!

An article worth a read!

Dogs are increasingly being prescribed medications to treat "problem behaviours", but experts suggest non-drug solutions could be better.

🌟 When Sydney’s Most Respected Behaviour Vet Chooses OUR Puppy School... 🌟

Meet Loki 🐾 — the beautiful Golden Retriever pup owned by the wonderful Joanna McLachlan of widely regarded as Sydney’s most respected behaviour vet.

Now here’s the thing: Loki didn’t need our help. With a highly experienced professional at home, this boy was already off to a flying start. But his mum still chose to enrol him in our Puppy School — because she knows that structured, professional socialisation during the critical 9–20 week window is absolutely essential.

✔️ A safe, clean, and calm environment
✔️ Expertly managed group dynamics
✔️ Qualified, certified trainers
✔️ Confidence-building experiences that set dogs up for life

💬 “Even if you know what you’re doing — having your pup in the right socialisation setting matters.”

Loki thrived. He didn’t come for training — he came for the experience. And it’s the same experience we offer every pup that walks through our doors.

👉 So if you’ve ever thought “I can socialise my puppy on my own” — remember, even the best in the field trust us with theirs.

🐶 Enrolments now open for puppies aged 9–20 weeks — limited spots available.

🌟 Star of the Week 🌟

Sweet little Gracie has earned our Star of the Week at Puppy Playgroup! 💛

Gracie is naturally a bit shy around other pups, but every session she shows up with her tail wagging and a heart full of courage. 🐾

She’s been taking small steps outside her comfort zone, and we are so proud of her for giving everything a go — even when it feels a bit scary. 💕

Well done, Gracie girl — your gentle bravery inspires us all! ✨🐶
