Why Relationship Comes First 💕

At the core of everything we do at Flying Paws is one simple truth: without a strong relationship, nothing else truly works.

When your dog feels safe with you, they’re more willing to face the world’s tricky moments. They stay close not because they’re told to, but because they genuinely want to. Training shifts from being about drills and repetition to something lighter and easier, because you’re working together rather than against each other.

And when you’re both listening … really listening … you create a two way conversation where needs, emotions, and choices matter on both sides.

Skills can always be taught, but trust is something you build over time. It’s the foundation that allows everything else to fall into place. When your dog knows you’ve got their back, they move through the world with confidence, and you grow together in a way no amount of “perfect obedience” could ever create.

How does your dog show you they trust you?

✨ Flying Paws Update ✨

As we head into the final months of the year, we wanted to share a little update on what’s been happening (and what’s coming up!) at Flying Paws.

🐶 Puppy Programs
Our October puppy programs are almost full, and November is already booking up fast 🫣. If you’ve been thinking about jumping in, now’s the time! Our final weekend puppy program for 2025 is also open for bookings.

📚 Follow-On Programs
We’ve opened the waitlist for our last rounds of Puppy to Pro and Paws in Practice in November. These are the final chances to join us this year.

👩‍🏫 Private Sessions
Private session availability for new clients is getting tighter each week. We’re grateful to have kept our books open this long, but they will be closing soon for 2025.

🐕‍🦺 Assistance Dogs
A little update here too, we won’t be taking on any new assistance dog teams until 2026.

🎧 Podcast
Have you been tuning in? Our podcast is live on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube, with weekly episodes scheduled right through October 🎉. We’ve got plenty of good things lined up for your ears!

🛒 Shop Update
The shelves are looking a little bare at the moment, but rest assured, a couple of big orders are on the way. And yes, there’s another restock of moo chews coming soon (we can’t believe how quickly your pups have chomped through them again!).

A Big Thank You
We’re so grateful for your ongoing support and for being part of the Flying Paws family. There are some exciting things coming up as we wrap up the year, and we can’t wait to share them with you.

Sometimes You Just Need to Be Heard

This week has been a reminder for us that our job isn’t always about teaching behaviours. A lot of the time it’s just about being the person you can actually talk to.

We often have two conversations that really stick with us.

One is the “I don’t know what to do” moment, where the weight of it all feels heavy and they just needed someone to listen and help make sense of the next step.

The other is the “I think my dog should be doing this” moment, where the worry was less about the dog and more about expectations, and sometimes all it takes is saying, “That’s okay. Your dog doesn’t need to do that.”

These conversations can feel really raw. Sometimes we become the only people you feel you can say these things out loud to. And other times they’re lighter, more about reassurance, a safe space to exhale and hear that you and your dog are okay exactly where you’re at.

The truth is, both matter. Both are part of the journey. And if all we do in that moment is listen and remind you that you’re not alone, then that’s just as important as any training session.

🌟 Introducing Benson! 🌟

Benson came to visit us this week for his pre-entry session before joining our Puppy to Pro Program and he left with a brand-new friend!

Now, if you’ve been to our programs, you’ll know Fox rarely gets to say hi to the other dogs. If he did, we’d never get a demo out of him 🤣 But when a pup from the same breeder shows up, we sometimes bend the rules just a little.

Just two months apart (and from different parents), Benson and Fox worked beautifully around each other before deciding that being best mates was the way to go. Can you guess whose older 🤔

✨ Why do we do pre-entry sessions?
For dogs who haven’t been through our Puppy Program, it’s a chance to:
✔️ Give your pup a chance to meet us and attend our facility in a calm setting
✔️ We can see where they’re at with their skills and confidence around new people and dogs
✔️ It helps us set them up for success before joining a class!

Our Puppy to Pro Program is designed to take young dogs to the next level and pre-entry sessions help us make sure they’re ready for success.

Interested in Puppy to Pro for your pup? Reach out to book your pre-entry session today.

We used to called ourselves a “dog school.”

But it that hasn’t really fitted what we’re about for a long time.

“School” makes you think of rules, grades, and perfect obedience. That’s not us. And really never has benn We’re not here to create little robot dogs, we’re here to help grow happy, confident companions who can take on the world with you.

And it’s not just the dogs learning. You’re learning too. Training is about partnership, not ticking off a lesson plan.

Every dog, every family, every journey is different. That’s why we talk about being a training facility instead of a “school.” Because what we do is flexible, personal, and always about setting you and your dog up for success together.

Flying Paws is more than just our programs and services … it’s support, adventure, confidence, and connection ❤️

Why Adolescence is the Key to Your Dog’s Future

👑 Featuring Fox … the current reigning king of adolescence!

Adolescence can feel like the hardest stage of dog ownership, your pup pushes boundaries, forgets their training, and tests your patience daily. But here’s the thing: this stage isn’t just chaos… it’s opportunity.

In this episode, we explore:
🐾 Why adolescence is such a challenging phase
🐾 How your dog’s brain and body are changing
🐾 The habits and skills you can build now that will shape their entire future

Handled well, adolescence sets the foundation for a confident, resilient, happy adult dog.

Even if you don’t have an adolescent dog right now, this one’s not to miss, the insights will help you understand dogs of any age.
