Annie's Dogs: Therapy Dog Training

06/09/2025

🔥🚒 A Huge Shoutout to Brock & Rob! 🚒🔥

Over the weekend, two of my past participants, Brock and Rob, took on the massive challenge of the Melbourne Firefighter Stair Climb – powering up 28 floors in full firefighting gear 💪.

And they didn’t do it alone – their therapy dog Ace was cheering them on with four paws of encouragement, ready with tail wags and cuddles when they got back! And in the mean time, could be found giving those same tail wags and love to all who passed by 🐾 ❤️

This climb isn’t just about fitness; it’s about raising awareness and funds for mental health, su***de prevention, and cancer support. The strength, resilience, and heart these guys showed is nothing short of inspiring.

Let’s give Brock, Rob, and Ace a big round of applause 👏👏👏 – what an achievement!

Time to meet a past favourite of mine, Rosie ❤️ Rosie makes you feel as though you're the only one in the room. When she looks at you, her eyes look deep in to your soul, a dog who is a deep emotional regulator and friend to many. Owner, Emma, sent me an update recently on Rosie:

"Hi Annie, I hope you & your beautiful family are well! I just thought I’d let you know how well Rosie is going. I’m working in a different clinic now with mostly adults. She loves greeting clients in the waiting room & she is so happy with all of the pats & cuddles she gets 😍"
.. I'm not surprised...

Next available therapy dog course January 12-15, $2000, 9am-4pm.
September 22-25 is now wait list only.

Public interactions are always a big part of this course. Whether from our public visits, or our obedience sessions which are open to the public, we are surrounded by public exposure. This is important given the roles our dogs are about to undertake.

Next available therapy dog course is September 22-25, 9am-3pm, $2000, Ararat.
