Let’s make this Xmas in July unforgettable for our furry friends! Thank you for your support and good luck! 🐶✨🎅
A fantastic first week of Puppy Foundations & Basic Obedience Classes today, guided by Sharon from The Well-Mannered Mutt.
We covered a variety of topics including:
🐾 Communication Systems
🐾 Importance of a Strong Relationship
🐾 Building Motivation
🐾 Equipment & Handling
🐾 Management to Prevent Unwanted Behaviour
🐾 Place Training
🐾 Setting Up Training Sessions
Group classes always deliver a diverse group of people and dogs which is always exciting to work with.
Some dogs arrived today roaring to go, while others battled with confidence just entering into the space.
However, all dogs and owners walked away having overcome the initial stress that comes with first time group classes, having a positive impact on them and no doubt their next experience.
We applaud anyone who is willing to have a go and show commitment towards bettering their relationship with their dog and who wants to improve their dogs overall quality of life through training.
We cannot wait to see these teams and their development over the coming weeks.
Week 1 of our 8-Week Scent Detection Course, off to a great start this morning!
Mandy covered a number of different topics including:
🐾 Types of odour
🐾 Imprinting odour
🐾 Importance of markers
🐾 Where and how to reward
🐾 Affects of weather on odour
🐾 Setting up your sessions for success
🐾 Types of equipment for odour (pipes, boxes, tins etc)
🐾 Understanding your individual dogs body language when they’re detecting odour
🐾 Importance of cleaning your equipment Preventing contamination
🐾 What to do when things go wrong
🐾 Confidence building
We cannot wait to watch these teams develop over the next 8-weeks under the guidance of Conservation & Detection Dogs SA!
Adelaide, check this out!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate Xmas in July, at the Ruff Around The Xmas Tree Fundraiser event yesterday.
It was amazing to see so many different people and to share a day of fun, laughter and love of dogs.
I had such a great time that I didn’t get many photos but here are just a few from the day taken by myself and others.
Thankfully we had Calern James Media offer up his time, to capture some beautiful moments that we cannot wait to see.
How adorable were the cupcakes created by tishtash_sweetcreations !
The feedback received back was great and it looked like everyone had a great time.
It would not have been possible without so many people who I have thanked in person but for those on here who I can also tag, I will do my best to.
Thank you to Teds Place - Adventure & Training Park for offering up the beautiful space for the day. To Bernadette Miller and Marie McAvoy for doing the hard yards of organising and driving the event. To my amazing parents Trevor and Tracey Heywood for their delicious cooking and never ending support.
Thank you to all our sponsors and donators for the wonderful prizes.
And of course a big thank you to all who came out to support the event. Without you all, the day would not have been a complete success.
I am overwhelmed by the love and support.
Thank you to all who have supported my mission in the past, in the present moment and in the future.
I am so grateful for this community of people.
See you at the next one!
All my love, gratitude and appreciation,
Aimee Heywood.

We are so excited for our upcoming Xmas In July Event this Sunday 21st of July, where we will be fundraising money for our next rescue dog. Our mission to Rescue, Rehabilitate and rehome dogs started back in February 2023 and we have already made a huge impact, saving close to a dozen dogs, some escaping euthanasia with our help.
Our 4 week board and train program has been successful in preparing these dogs for their forever homes, but the costs involved are significant. That's why we are reaching out to our community for support. Your donations will help cover transportation, training, feeding, vet work and grooming for our next rescue dog later this year.
If you're interested in supporting our cause, we still have a few tickets left for our fundraiser event this Sunday. Come along with a friend, or on your own, and enjoy a day filled with furry friends and fun activities. And if you can't make it in person, don't worry - we have an online raffle running until the end of the month with amazing prizes worth $3000.
To get involved, simply send us an email [email protected] and we'll provide you with all the details. Thank you for considering supporting our mission to give these dogs a second chance at a loving home. We couldn't do it without you!

This never should have happened.Not one but 2 Malinois. Not unrelated but sisters. Not old but under 6 months. Surrendered. This never should have happened but it did and it continually does. This never should have happened but thank goodness, despite their lack of exposure to the world, these two girls are the sweetest little souls. Know your breed. Know your commitments. If you’re not prepared to plan your life to include a dog in it for the next 10+ years, please don’t get a dog, let alone TWO! #malinois #dog #dogtraining #dogtrainer #workingdog
🚨 URGENT: New South Australian Laws Threatening Dog Sports 🚨As a dedicated dog trainer and enthusiast, I am deeply concerned about the South Australian government’s proposal to classify IGP sport dogs as attack dogs. This law not only misinterprets the true nature of IGP but also threatens the future of various dog sports and the incredible benefits they provide to our dogs and communities.Cora, my 4-year-old Belgian Malinois was previously trained in IGP and currently trains in PSA (Protection Sports Association). Cora is a prime example of what these sports represent: control, discipline, and the incredible bond between handler and dog. She is highly trained in obedience, can be handled by anyone, is great with livestock, children, dogs, and remains under effective control off-lead. She lives in my home, sleeps in my bed, and has traveled all around Australia with me. She’s been on multiple flights and undergone significant veterinary procedures, and never once has anyone complained about her behaviour, only has she ever been complimented.IGP training isn’t about creating aggressive attack dogs. It’s about rigorous training to ensure dogs are well-behaved, highly obedient, and stable in various environments. This sport emphasises safety, control, and the welfare of the dogs. Banning these sports not only undermines the efforts and dedication of responsible dog owners but also sets a dangerous precedent. Today it’s IGP, but what about agility, herding, or sledding next? Dog sports have helped me to build Cora’s calm demeanor around other dogs and people, and allowed her the freedom and joy these sports have created for her. Let’s stand together against this misguided legislation and protect the future of our beloved dog sports. Together, we can make a difference. Sign the petition, share this post, spread the word, and let’s show the government that we support responsible dog training and the positive impact it has on our communities.https://w

🐶📹 Exciting Update on MARLI! 🐾Marli was our first Rescue, Rehab and Rehome dog for 2024. Marli’s arrival was partly due to issues with resource guarding, which meant he would become aggressive when he felt conflicted around food and other high value items. This behavior needed to be addressed to ensure a safe and happy future for Marli.In this video, you’ll see the incredible progress Marli has made through dedicated training. Despite his initial challenges, Marli happily allows people to approach and touch him while he eats. He understands how to follow instructions around food and does it with a great attitude.When it comes to dogs and their food, it’s usually common practice to allow dogs to eat in peace. While we agree with this for the most part, there are circumstances in which a dog needs to learn that certain behaviours are not acceptable, especially when they become dangerous. In this case, we needed to ensure Marli’s behaviour around food changed so that he would be safe for rehoming. This means him learning to be okay with people approaching, touching and collar grabbing him because reality is, the likely hood of this happening in future to him is high, therefore we have an obligation to push buttons and test the dog to ensure safety.While we don’t recommend owners do this with their dogs (if your dog shows issues around food then contact a trainer immediately), we do recommend clients teach their dogs how to be obedient in the presence of competing motivators e.g. a full bowl of food on the floor. In this example we recall Marli mid feed and call him into the down.It’s heartwarming to witness Marli’s transformation. From a dog with resource guarding issues to one who responds to recall commands while eating and then backs it up with the Zoomies, Marli’s progress speaks volumes about his training journey.Check out the video to see MARLI’s amazing turnaround and the positive impact of training on his behavior. 🐕🌟

Well that was terrifying!!! 😣 🐍 Caught on camera the moment Millie unknowingly almost steps on an Eastern Brown Snake. The dog Gods blessed us today. And our recall training definitely paid off.
An enjoyable final trip away with the dogs for 2023. We’ve certainly had our fair share of travel this year and cannot wait for the adventures in store next year! #dog #dogtraining #travellingwithdogs #malinois #germanshepherd #dutchshepherd #ocean #southaustralia #yorkepeninsula
Happy 1st Birthday Henry (previously Hendrix) On the 26th of May, we got a call from a vet in the Riverland, who informed us that Henry was due to be euthanised because of behavioural issues the owners were unable to deal with. She asked if we or anyone we knew, might be in a position to take the dog as she did not believe euthanasia was necessary. We were so glad to have taken that call because Henry didn’t have any behavioural issues at all, what he had was a lack of training. The owners agreed to let us take Henry and two days later, we made the 6 hour around trip to pick him up. That was exactly 6 months ago and today, he celebrates his 1st birthday earth side, with his wonderful family, who just adore him. Henry is one of many dogs who find themselves in this situation. The biggest contributor to dogs ended up in rescues/pounds/on death row, is lack of owner understanding when it comes to training and maintaining wanted behaviour and discouraging unwanted behaviour. As trainers, teachers and educators of dog training and dog ownership, we do our best to make a difference in the dog space, however, we cannot do it alone. If you want to get involved in helping dogs like Henry, achieve the best outcomes possible, then please consider donating to our rescue and rehabilitation program so we can continue to do more work like this. We need the help of the community if we want to see less dogs in shelters and less dogs being euthanised. “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together”.

Want your business to be the top-listed Pet Store/pet Service?
The trainer behind the adventures.
Aimee has successfully trained and worked with dogs for close to 5 years. Her own adventure down the dog training rabbit hole, began shortly after she welcomed her first dog Millie (pictured), into her life almost 6 years ago.
Aimee's love and passion for dog training and behaviour continues to grow stronger, particularly after she had the opportunity to work closely with a large number of dogs, focusing on rehabilitating reactive, aggressive, anxious and resource guarding dogs.
Aimee thrives off of adventure and when she's not training dogs she's busy immersing herself in camping, 4WDing, motorbike riding, kayaking, swimming or exploring new terrain with her dog Millie. It is because of her close ties with both dogs and nature that EpicDog Adventures were created.
These adventures continue to be one of our most popular services, bringing enjoyment, enrichment and excitement to the dogs of Adelaide.
