Good Manners Level 1 Graduates from East Maitland ! 🎉

There’s nothing better than watching our adorable puppy class graduates grow up and step into Good Manners level 1 and this crew absolutely did not disappoint! 🌟

It has been such a pleasure to see your skills grow over the last 6 weeks. Your hard work, wagging tails, goofy moments, and big breakthroughs made every session a joy ❤️

Well done everyone! We look forward to having you attend Good Manners level 2 in the New Year 🎓🐶🐕🎓🐕🎓
You should be so proud of yourselves we sure are! 🥳🐾

Last week Suzanne Madden lost a nearly 3-year battle with the second bout of cancer in her life. It is so sad to announce that we have lost an amazingly knowledgeable and giving member of the dog community.
Suzanne holds the record as the longest-serving trainer in the history of Barkers in Balance. Many of our followers will remember Suzanne as their Puppy School or Good Manners teacher. She was a powerhouse of knowledge, passionate about her canine specialties which she was always willing to share, and had a wicked sense of humour that kept us all smiling.
I will forever be grateful for her devoted teaching skills which she shared generously with all dogs and their humans, as well as many of the young hopefuls that came to us to learn how to become trainers with us.
Thank you Suzanne, for the unwavering commitment you gave to Barkers in Balance. It would be very hard to find another Suzanne Madden.

MY NAME IS JET. I’m a Border Collie and I’m 3 years old. I’ve been struggling with loud noises and with being alone at night ever since I was frightened by some fireworks a while back. My motivation to escape my house and yard is quite e high now as I’d rather hang out with my neighbours over the road. My human says that this won’t always be possible and they can’t afford any more damage to doors and gates or to me either! We’re now practising settling and calming exercises to gradually get me used to being alone again. My human and I are hoping we can return to the good old days soon!

ANNA BAY GOOD MANNERS CLASSES:
We have TWO new courses starting before Christmas, to give you a head-start, leading into Christmas.
🐾 Sunday, December 7 at 9:00am
🐾 Wednesday, December 10 at 6:00pm
⭐️ Both courses run for 6 weeks.
⭐️ Each will receive 2 or 3 lessons before Christmas, with emails containing notes and videos to help with practice.
✅As a class we will negotiate a restart date to suit everyone, for after the Christmas/New Year festivities.
✅ In the past we have found this to be a great model. You get some start-up strategies, take a couple of weeks to enjoy the festivities and to practise what you've learnt so far, knowing you'll return to revise, learn more and to have access to your trainer over a longer period of time.
