What an incredible year it has been for Learners on Lead boarding and dog therapy programs!

In 2025, we've had the pleasure of caring for hundreds of your cherished dogs, and we eagerly await their return in 2026. This year, we introduced a new day yard specifically designed for smaller dogs, complete with a spacious sandpit, native plants, a large grassy area, shaded shelters, sniff tubes, and logs for exploration. Additionally, we've established a parking area and a convenient office space for smooth arrival and pickup.

Scooter and Shine have had a remarkable year as therapy dogs at the New South Wales Health Base Hospital and the Ambulance Centre. They've brought joy, smiles, and comfort to countless patients and staff members during their visits.

Our small dog social group, which meets on Sunday afternoons, has thrived with delightful gentle walks through the bush and a lot of playful antics in the dam.

It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since I stepped back from teaching, allowing me to dedicate more time to boarding, therapy work, and my own dogs.

On that note, I'm considering the possibility of restarting puppy preschool in March 2026. It's such a crucial time in a dog's life; it lays the foundation for building the best understanding and relationship between dogs and their owners.

I'd like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all my clients for entrusting us with your beloved pets, whether through boarding or social classes.

Below is just a snippet of 2025.

Wishing you a safe and joyful holiday season!
Cheers Karen and the team.

Training isn't solely about obedience; it's also a wonderful opportunity to strengthen our bond and foster a confident, thoughtful dog.

Over the past six weeks, I've been engaging Shine in some enjoyable activities, and we're both having a blast with it! Here’s a glimpse of what we’ve been up to:

- Cross paws
- Cavaletties
- Handstand
- Push it
- Pivot
- Four in
- Casting

What a lovely afternoon I have had. I had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours with this little cutie, we cuddled, played and did a little bit of training. His owners are doing an amazing job with him and are keen to help him become the best possible dog he can be.

No pictures with patients today with Miss Shine, today was a staff day visiting the dedicated and hard working staff at DBH and Ambulance NSW. Some dressing up was in order much to Shine's disgust but she really does pull off a the little red hat look.

Scooter and I had a wonderful morning at the hospital today visiting some patients in Dialysis and Medical ward. This boy has been loving on people in care for 9 years now, he is one in a million and such a blessing to all who get some of his love.

Summer is a great time to train some tricks where you can be out of the sun and somewhere cool. I am using this summer to play and train with Shine teaching her some new skills and tricks that we may be able to use when visiting staff and patients at the hospital and ambulance. Thanks Min and Jovi for joining us this morning for the fun and giggles. Please post Jovi's funny session.
