Dog Training Australia

Exercise is terrific for our body and mind. While it has been a challenge for most of us over the past few months, the easing of lockdowns should motivate us to get out again. If you’ve ever had trouble sticking to your fitness goals, consider how your playful pooch can help you out. Our dogs love to exercise and will seldom turn up the chance to get moving and explore the outdoors.  Exercising with your pup is a fantastic way to support their health and happiness as well as your own. It’s also a great way to improve the bond...

It can be hard for some to leave the house after being cooped up for so long. Perhaps your dog has become acclimated to their new isolation routine, or maybe they never learnt to socialise, to begin with. Either way, as lockdowns ease and dog parks are set to reopen, now is the perfect time to teach your dog to socialise correctly, avoiding those awkward exchanges or fights with other canines (and their owners!)  It’s great that your dog is protective of your home, but out in public, it’s a different story. Your dog needs to know how to react calmly...

Even though we see them more, our pets may have taken a backseat as walks become less frequent and adventures to the park become a distant memory.  While you undoubtedly adore them more than ever, it can be incredibly challenging to be...

Have you ever experienced your dog’s frantic excitement for a visitor preceding the ringing of the doorbell? Their ability to sense food is on its way, even when they’re on the other side of the house? Dog’s have amazingly sensitive hearing and smell that allows them to pick up on parts of the world that seem superhuman.  While a keen sense of smell has many apparent uses, their sense of hearing is a little less understood. Our pet pals certainly have far better hearing than humans, although it’s not quite that simple - certain types of sounds seem to impact...

COVID-19 has caused most of us to shift our workspace to our home environment. While this is a blessing for many, it can be wrought with many unexpected challenges. How do we stay productive while avoiding distractions? Whether your children are schooling from home or your partner is on their conference call, your usual work environment has been disrupted.
