My private lesson today was with Melissa and Millie in Bridgetown. Millie is a 20 month old Cardigan corgi who is a bit anxious. Melissa and Millie are new to the area, so it will take Millie time to settle in and become comfortable. They both did really well today and I look forward to seeing them at my small breed dog group classes in the near future.

This post is about PUPPIES!!!!!!!

Puppies are awesome, very cute little beings. But they can also be a bit of a handful and cause their guardians a lot of stress.

There are a lot of milestones in a pup’s life that are very important. For example, the socialisation period which is from 3 weeks of age to 14 weeks. This period is one of the most important parts of their lives. Anything that happens during this period (both positive and negative) can affect them for life.

My speciality is working with young pups to help them become happy, secure, confident and healthy dogs. We don’t want them to be fearful, reactive, aggressive - not coping with our fast paced world.

Private puppy lessons with me include discussing subjects such biting, digging, jumping up, barking, crate training, chewing, toilet training, etc. I show you how to manage energy levels, cope with the ‘witching hour’ (yes it is a thing), enrichment activities, walking on a lead, how to set your pup for success and everything in between.

My cost is $85 for an hour lesson, plus travel costs if you live further than 5km from Manjimup. I travel to surrounding towns, plus areas such as Boyup Brook, Donnybrook, Greenbushes, etc.

My private lesson today was with Sarina and Freddy. Stella, Debbie and Ashley were there to help!

I am seeing improvements with Freddy every lesson we have. We did some work near triggers in the Manjimup Heritage Park and I could see Sarina redirecting him every time he started to get over stimulated.

It was a great lesson and I can see Sarina has been working hard with Freddy.

I look forward to seeing them again in the near future!

I had one private lesson and an in house session today.

The private lesson was with Kirsty and Alfie. Alfie is a 4 month old mix breed. Belle the 14 year old pug was overseeing the lesson as well! We did some work with Alfie’s bed, so that Kirsty can send him there if she needs to. He aced it!!!

The in house session was with Pablo the labrador. We worked on some hand signals for basic cue’s, step up and staying on his bed for longer periods.

Fantastic day!!! Looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Another sniffy opportunity! Hard rubbish on the verge has all different types of smells going on. Bailey was having a ball this morning exploring the different scents in each pile. Make sure it is safe to do so of course.

Today I had one group member turn up to small breed dog class in the Manjimup Heritage Park!

It was Lucy the Cavoodle who joined me today. We explored all of the Heritage Park and did some recall work as we went around.

It was a fantastic lesson and I look forward to the next one.

I had 8 group members turn up to dog school today, including one new member. Roxy the Kelpie x Border collie.

The weather was a bit cold to start with but it eventually warmed up. During puppy class, we did some lead work and when the more advanced dogs turned up, we all went for a group walk. Then we did some socialisation exercises and finished with some jumps and asking our dogs to step up on objects. It was a great lesson and I look forward to the next one in two weeks. Remember to bring your long leads!!!!!

This is why I am passionate about doing puppy consults. Things can easily go wrong if you don't set your pup up for success. Find a certified trainer and work with them during the critical socialisation period (3 weeks to 14 weeks).

My private lesson today was with Janet and Keef. I love the name - makes me laugh. Keef is a 4 year old Tenterfield Terrier and has had a bit of issue with recall after he caught a couple of rabbits recently.

Well today he did a great job. He came back everytime we called him and we were able to get his attention when he was tracking. It was an excellent job by both Janet and Keef.

It was great meeting them both!!!!

Today I had two in house sessions.

The first one was with Ziggy the Staghound x. We did some work on over stimulation, playing with the snuffle mats and also getting used to her doggy door. I was also able to do some more advanced training with her. Fantastic session!

The second session was with Pablo the labrador. He did really well with step up, putting orange cones in the bucket, staying on his bed and playing with his snuffle mats.

Both sessions were fantastic and I look forward to seeing them again soon! Great day.
