Crazy Puppy to Calm Puppy
Becoming Bowlingual®
It’s an exciting time, your puppy has arrived. Now the crazy stuff starts. We want to be there to help you through the roller coaster ride that is ‘THE PUPPY JOURNEY’.
Becoming Bowlingual® will help you to set the foundation behaviours at the right time. The first 6 months are so important to your puppy’s development.
There are going to be times when they are sweet calm little angels and then there will be times when they are crazy little monsters. But don’t worry we are here to help.
We’ve raised numerous puppies through the years and in this online program we share all our tips and secrets that have helped us to raise calm and confident puppies without the day to day drama!

Want a calm and relaxed puppy?
You can have the Dream Puppy!
Even if you were Dr Dolittle and could perfectly communicate with your doggo, their obedience would still be down to the relationship that you have with them. We help you to develop your relationship with your furry friend – i.e. for you to better understand them and for them to better understand you.
Babytalk – We combine tone, emotion and timing in the use our words and gestures to build the basic pathways between our own young and ourselves. Our puppies need the same level of support to set up the foundations that they need to learn the doggo lingo that we can also use to communicate with each other.
Food is great. We can use the love of food to build a great relationship between your dog and you. We also promote the choices that your dog makes to build their own confidence and skill set in how to problem solve using what motivates them to learn the best.

This is what Carly Flyn from Today FM said about our
Online Puppy Program
“Mindfulness4dogs runs a fantastic online video service which we’ve signed up for with 2-3 minute videos. I’m making everybody watch them because we want to have the same commands. Your videos, Darran, are so great they are so straight forward and we are watching them and following them. We’ve read a lot of your stuff, Darran and watched the videos beforehand. Anyone getting a new puppy right now that’s what I’d be suggesting to do.”
Our Philosophy and Vision
Gaining this understanding is just like learning a new language. However, just as with humans, 80-90% of how a dog communicates is non-verbal (i.e. body language). What is more, since we can’t teach them to speak, and they cannot understand our words, we need to learn how to communicate with them via their peculiar doggy body language. Obviously, this is not a natural form of communication: we need help to learn it and it takes practice to master it.
The good news is, we can all learn this language and, if we work with our dog when it is just a puppy, we can both quickly learn together to understand each other – no problem. So now you need a great teacher. Not just someone who understands the language, but someone who understands how to teach this language to you. They also need to be a linguist and a behaviourist skilled in the body language and gestures used by your dog.

If you want the best for your puppy, and want to relax and have fun as you navigate the first 10 weeks of your puppy journey, then you need to learn to communicate with your puppy in a language they understand — called Bowlingo®.
Bowlingo® is the language puppies use to communicate — which is 90% body language. More over, it is also the language of relationships.
