It has been a pleasure working with Jack and his parents on a behavioural plan and see how far he has come. It’s been great to work together with Dr Jacqui to achieve the best for Jack 💕🐾
Well done to Jacks parents who have committed to help him live his best life through training, socialisation and of course showing off his tricks! 💕

Jack is such a happy boy ! He’s been having behaviour therapy through myself and his training facility Playful Paws: Training & Wellness and the improvement is wonderful. Such a calm happy boy who is able to self regulate and be a dog again. Couldn’t be happier with Jack and his parents are stoked with his results ❤️☯️🙏
