Dear customers. It saddens me to notify you that my mom (Colleen) and owner of Fab FurKidz passed away in October 2023 after a brief battle with stage 4 cancer. Therefore there will be no more dog training unfortunately. We wish you all the very best and a blessed festive season.

Marshall puppy training part 3 - the recall. When you call your furkid, it is important that he/she obeys and comes directly to you.

Marshall, this gorgeous Weimaraner pup had his very first taste of puppy training today and he did SO well. Puppy training takes A LOT of patience but is so worth it! Marshall's human dad did a sterling job.

So proud 👏🏻

Puppy training with Simba and Nala yesterday! They did so well. They were exhausted after the lesson. Being a pup is hard work!

Libby, this beautiful rescue Schnauzer would not move at all with her harness on a few short weeks ago - we are incredibly happy with her progress (albeit slow). Progress is progress!!

These 2 sweet girls Chloe and Libby were rescued from a horrible puppy mill.

Their new human parents who are invested in their wellbeing and happiness called me to assist with training.

First session last week was all about getting used to a collar and lead. They did not enjoy having a collar and lead on at first. BUT we're very excited to share this video with you today. With love, kindness, persistence and a lot of patience, not only did Chloe adjust to having a collar and lead on, she even showed off by doing a little bit of agility at the second training session this week.

We are really proud of Chloe, Libby and their humans. They're doing an excellent job! Looking forward to next week's training session.

Training your puppy can bring many benefits, both for the puppy and for you as the owner. Here are some of the key benefits:

Helps with socialization: Training your puppy helps them to become more comfortable with new people, animals, and situations, which can prevent fear and aggression later on.

Establishes a strong bond: Training your puppy strengthens your bond with them, as they learn to trust and respect you as their owner.

Prevents problem behaviors: Proper training can prevent your puppy from developing problem behaviors like chewing, digging, barking excessively, and jumping on people.

Promotes good behavior: Training your puppy helps to encourage good behavior, such as obedience, house training, and leash walking.

Ensures safety: Training your puppy to respond to commands like "come" and "stay" can help keep them safe in potentially dangerous situations.

Enhances mental stimulation: Training your puppy provides mental stimulation, which is important for their overall health and well-being.

Builds confidence: Training your puppy helps to build their confidence, as they learn new skills and feel more comfortable in different situations.

Overall, training your puppy is essential for their development and well-being, and can help you build a strong and happy relationship with your furry friend.

If investing in your puppy sounds awesome, please contact Colleen on 083 421 0078 to arrange one on one training. EAST RAND OF GAUTENG ONLY AT THIS STAGE.

Training a Pitbull puppy correctly (or any puppy for that matter) results in a wonderful family pet!

Colourful snuffle mats made recently! Excellent nose work activity. WhatsApp to order 083 421 0078. We can courier anywhere in South Africa for only R60.

Why not spoil your dogs (or cats) with a snuffle mat? We make and sell snuffle mats!

Snuffle Mats are a fantastic way to keep your dog occupied and provide mental stimulation by getting them to use both their brain and their noses. Works well to slow down fast eaters too. Cats, however, generally prefer to sleep on them 😄

Priced from only R75, we make various sizes and can make to order. We are based in Benoni Gauteng, but we can courier anywhere in South Africa for R60 with Paxi at your cost.
