Being a puppy is a pretty big job.

Imagine arriving in a world where you don't know the rules, can't speak the language and keep discovering that perfectly reasonable activities like chewing the slippers are apparently frowned upon.

Puppies have a LOT to learn.

There are the practical things, like settling, handling, walking on a lead and focusing on their human. Then there are all the everyday experiences they need to navigate as they grow, from unfamiliar sights and sounds to new people, places and situations.

Building those foundations early can help puppies develop useful life skills and confidence as they find their paws in the world.

But here's the important bit: Puppy School isn't only for the puppy.

Humans have some learning to do too. Understanding how your puppy learns and communicates gives you skills you can keep using as that tiny ball of fluff becomes a fully-fledged member of the family.

Everything Dog Puppy School helps pups and their humans start building those foundations together.

Small pup. Big world. You've got this.

Ever wondered why your dog can absolutely nail something at home, then seemingly forget the whole thing the moment you step outside?

They haven’t forgotten. The real world is simply a much harder classroom.

At home, there might be very little competing for your dog’s attention. Head outside and suddenly there are people, other dogs, traffic, unfamiliar places, exciting smells and approximately eleventy-billion things demanding immediate investigation.

That’s why training for real life takes practice.

Start somewhere your dog can succeed, introduce distractions gradually and use rewards that genuinely matter to them. Once a skill is going well, practise it in the places you’ll actually want to use it.

And remember, useful training looks different for every dog and every household. Maybe you’d love easier walks, better recall, calmer café visits or a dog who can settle while you stop for a chat.

Everything Dog’s 1:1 training gives you the chance to focus on the skills that will make a genuine difference to everyday life with your dog.

Because the best training is training you can actually use.

Who says learning is just for puppies?

Dogs can continue learning throughout their lives, and there are plenty of reasons you might decide to do some training with an adult or older dog.

Maybe there’s an everyday skill you’ve never quite cracked. Perhaps walks have become a little challenging, recall could use some work or you’d like to help your dog feel more confident in certain situations.

Life can change too. A move, a new routine, a new family member or simply getting older can mean the skills that worked for you both before need a little adjustment.

And training doesn’t always have to solve a problem. Learning something new can provide mental stimulation, strengthen communication between you and your dog and be something fun to work on together.

Because every dog-human duo is different, Everything Dog’s 1:1 training focuses on the things that matter to you and your dog.

Old dog. New tricks. Absolutely.

We could tell you how much fun our pups have at Everything Dog.

But frankly, we thought we’d let the experts handle this one.

The reviews are in: furry friends, plenty to do, good humans and a deeply disappointing policy requiring everyone to eventually go home.

We can’t please them all.

The days are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer and somewhere in Christchurch a dog has just heard the word “walkies”.

Spring is a brilliant time to get out and about with your pup, especially if winter turned you both into enthusiastic couch potatoes.

Build longer adventures up gradually, check that leads and harnesses are still in good condition and remember that busier paths mean sharing the world with plenty of other dogs and humans.

And while your pup may be VERY keen to make friends, not every dog they meet will feel the same way.

If your spring walkies involve more pulling, lunging or chaos than you’d like, we can help. Everything Dog offers 1:1 dog training, so you and your pup can work on the things that matter to you.

What’s for dinner?

If your dog had their way, the answer would probably be “everything you’ve got, thanks.”
If you’ve been thinking about raw feeding but aren’t quite sure where to start, come and have a chat with us.

Everything Dog has its own range of raw dog food, so you can stock up on dinner while you’re visiting us with your pup.

Because apparently feeding yourself isn’t enough responsibility. The furry member of the household would also like a carefully considered menu.

Ask the Everything Dog team about our raw range next time you’re in.

OMG! A DOG! MUST. SAY. HELLO.

Sound familiar?

Loving other dogs and having good doggy social skills aren’t necessarily the same thing.
Good play involves communication. Dogs take turns, pause, change roles and respond to each other’s signals. And sometimes one pup decides they’ve had enough. Being able to respect that is part of good social interaction too.

At Everything Dog, our team carefully supervises our daycare pups and their interactions, helping create positive opportunities to play and socialise.

Because the best play isn’t simply the wildest. It’s the kind everyone wants to come back for.

Work. Errands. Appointments. Kids’ activities. Catch-ups. That to-do list that somehow keeps getting longer…

Sometimes life gets busy.

And while we’d all love to spend every day hanging out with our dogs, our pups may have other ideas about spending another day waiting at home for us.

Everything Dog daycare gives your pup a day with opportunities for activity, enrichment, social interaction and rest, all while you get on with whatever your day has thrown at you.
Busy day for you. Pawsome day for them.

Get in touch with the Everything Dog team to find out more about daycare.

Being a puppy is a pretty big job.

One minute you’re figuring out your own paws, the next you’re expected to understand people, dogs, noises, new places, strange objects and a whole bunch of human rules.

Positive early experiences can help puppies build confidence and learn the skills they need to navigate the big wide world.

That’s what Everything Dog Puppy School is all about: helping pups and their people build great foundations for life together.

Is your pup leaving a dog-shaped cloud of fur everywhere they go?

Welcome to spring shedding season.

As the weather warms, many dogs start losing their winter coat, which can mean a LOT more fur making its way onto your floors, furniture, clothes… and somehow into places your dog has never even been.

Regular brushing can help remove loose coat and prevent knots and matting. And when the fluff starts winning the battle, our grooming team is here to help.

Book your pup in with the Everything Dog grooming team for a spring spruce-up.
