🐶Tip of the week.
Quality rest for your dog is important. Establish a routine, provide your dog with the chance to switch off from the world and properly rest. This also helps them to recover from stress.

🐶 Training Tip of the Week
Your dog isn’t giving you a hard time - they’re having a hard time.

When behaviour feels frustrating, pause and remember your dog isn’t being difficult on purpose. They’re communicating the only way they know how. Shift from punishment to understanding, and progress comes naturally.- The busy paw

Our Puppy Program needs a few extra helping hands this Christmas!

With some of our wonderful volunteers taking a well-deserved break over the holidays, we’re looking for caring community members who can support our pups through emergency boarding. Even a short stay makes a huge difference, as it keeps our future Guide & Assistance Dogs safe, happy, and on track with their training.

If you’ve ever thought about volunteering, now is the perfect time to get involved over Christmas >> https://bit.ly/BedandBreakfastBoarders
