Congratulations to the latest Gorgeous Graduates 🎓 of Puppy School Balmain Village Veterinary Clinic

This was an interesting mix of puppies, requiring some individualisation of the usual program, to cater to every puppy's needs. We got there in the end with Leo graduating at a home visit, and little Maisy gaining so much confidence over 5 weeks that it brought a tear to my eye 💖
Special thanks goes to little Archie for starting by showing her that other puppies are lovely, when you find the right play mate.

Introducing Sean (& Sherif) with BUSTER (also with some chihuahua thrown into the mix) Kate & Ross with MAISY Brooke & Sameer with ARCHIE and last but in no way least arr Lachlan & Bridgette with LEO

As always, Special thanks to for our goody bag collaboration

Well done everyone & I hope to bump into you at the park some time!

PSA!
Trick or Treat might be fun for kids but please look at this from your dog's point of view.

Front door interactions can be pretty loaded for our dogs as it is. Now imagine that your dog is faced with a bunch of small, excited, sugared-up people, dressed up in scary costumes that make NO SENSE to her! It can be be potentially terrifying for a dog.
Costumes are fun for us but forcing your dog into wearing something they clearly do not want to wear is no fun for them & completely unfair.
The whippet in this picture would be well acclimatised to wearing warm pjs & jackets all winter. He has no idea this one is themed!

Have a fun night but remember that there's no need to involve your dog in the Halloween shenanigans. She'll love you for it.

And here's little Cha-Cha, the Inner West's King of Zoomies!
Cha-Cha was happy to do his lesson, so long as he could digestveach lesson with a few wild laps of the back yard & living room between each exercise!
I wish I'd filmed him but here he is relaxing with his crinkly snake after one wild romp!
Good Boy Cha-Cha ❤️

Meet little Billy & his big bruv Archie
Billy was part of a huge RSPCA raid on a puppy farm, where they seized 130 dogs & puppies.
Billy has spent the first 6 months of his life in a cage, with little to no human interaction.
After the raid, he was taken in by and went into foster care with other dogs.
Billy has now landed firmly on his feet, in a loving, caring & patient home with his wonderful new mums & lovely canine brother.
He is now slowly learning about his new world.

Remember that when you buy a puppy from a pet shop or online from an unknown source, there's a very good chance that your new puppy has come from such a situation. Born to stressed mothers and often in squalid conditions, these puppies have a far greater chance of being highly anxious all their lives. And even if you're fortunate enough to get a puppy who isn't anxious, your money is supporting a despicable industry.
Please always do your homework & make sure you can visit the property & bestvof all, meet your prospective puppy's mother.

Our first ever Saturday Puppy School class Balmain Village Veterinary Clinic graduated! 🎓
Such a lovely bunch of people and mix of puppies to spend some of my Saturday with over the past 5 weeks.
It was especially great to see little Alfie gradually come out of his shell in class and gain confidence, and to receive his home videos of his "other" self!

Congratulations on all the good work -
Kate, Jeremy & Jasper with ALFIE Birdie with BONNIE Lachy & Greg (& Lesley) with BISCUIT and Lucy & Malte with OTIS (+Granny sneaking in his mortar board for his grad pic!)

Well done guys & keep up the good work!

A lot of people seem to be under the impression that puppies need to be fully vaccinated before enrolling in Puppy School.
NOT TRUE!
Puppy School is conducted in a friendly, safe and disinfected space (the vet hospital) with other healthy puppies in the same state of semi-vaccination.

This is so we can make the absolute most of the precious time that is your puppy's Critical Socialisation Period (CSP) - the brief window up to about 16 weeks.

The CSP is the time in your dog's life where they are more able to accept novelty than at any other time. A puppy's experiences will shape their emotional and mental health, and how they behave into adulthood. It is essential for their development that you give them a wide range of positive experiences, particularly during this time. An impoverished CSP can lead to a life-time of behavioural problems, so why not make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime chance to help your puppy learn how great life is (in a controlled environment) including other puppies and other people and even the friendly vets and nurses!

As we hurtle towards Christmas and the end of the year, contact Cath to grab a spot in one of the final classes of 2024!

Ms Mini & I came across this on our morning walkies at Petersham Park.
This shrub is BRUNFELSIA, aka 'Yesterday, today & tomorrow'. It's a pretty plant but is severely toxic to dogs and also highly palatable to them, especially the seed pods.
It causes severe tremors & seizures.
Another very good reason to keep an eye on your dog always & continue working on creating a reliable recall & solid response to the "leave it" cue!
