Therapy Focus

At ShorebreakPals, we aim to raise Australian Cobberdogs with temperament traits often required for therapy and emotional support roles — including calmness, resilience, and strong human connection.

Traits we encourage:

Emotional Steadiness

Gentle Confidence

People Safe Temperament

Adaptability in New Environments

Responsive Trainability

Early Development

Raising Matters

Therapy suitability is influenced by genetics and by early development. Our puppies receive daily handling, home exposure and enrichment designed to build confidence, calmness and resilience.

IMPORTANT NOTE

A Note on Therapy Suitability

Not every puppy will be suited to therapy work, as temperament is individual. However, our program is designed to support the traits that help therapy suitability, and we are happy to discuss goals with families seeking a therapy prospect.
