If you are looking to add a beautiful beagle puppy to your family, I cannot recommend this breeder highly enough. My new Chihuahua Trouble was bred by them and he is a little superstar.

Thank you to Heavenly Creatures Pet Crematorium for taking care of my Jakey boy. They also looked after Monty, Sascha & Isobel with the upmost care and respect, so I wouldn’t use anyone else.
I’m glad you are home sweet boy 😢💔🐶

🎂Sally and her bro Sam turned 13 today🎉
They don’t act it, they don’t feel it and Sally was stoked that for her birthday she gets to come out of retirement to teach Life Skills classes with me! Sadly with Jakes dementia getting worse, he gets too tired to teach as much as he desperately wants to! He is perfectly fine while he is demoing, but in between exercises instead of resting he is falling asleep LOL

Sally did such a great job, who said you can’t teach an old girl new tricks!

Look at all of these good kids at their week 5 puppy class!

In 5 weeks they have already learnt so many skills to set them up for life, things that people are not even aware of till dogs start to struggle at 8-12 months. But by then it is too late to prevent them, you now need to do complex behaviour modification :(

If you have a puppy under 16 weeks we have almost filled our next 2 classes starting Sunday 5pm and Thursday 6pm. Get in quick so you don't miss out! If your puppy is over 16 weeks you can still get into our Live video classes which are identical to our in-person classes just easier for the dogs and humans as from home!

And if the puppy class times don't suit your work or family scheule that is no worries! We can come to your home and do private consults which is like customised tutoring.

As a professional who specialises in behaviour and works directly with humans and dogs, dog and human first aid are important. I keep up to date with my human first aid regularly and as it’s been a while since I did my pet first aid I did a new course today! Did the course with Pet Tech Australia 12 years ago, so updating with the same company today! Highly recommend for pet owners and pet professionals.

Sadly I have been in this industry for 15 years and I actually think the problem has gotten worse not better. How?? Social media which shines a light on those with big egos, and who are happy to deceive people. Everyday I hear the stories of abusive outdated dog training, everyday I wish the general public could be safe regardless of what marketing they get pulled in by.

Dog industry is broken ...

It's the only industry where clients are happy to pay for BIG EGOS, but not for extensive qualifications, accredited knowledge or verified expertise. We expect so little from those who provide services to our pets... Often no checks are done on those who we entrust with our (best) furry friends....

Why is that?

You won't pay a lot of money to have a manicure done by someone who has never done it before.

You won't have your teeth fixed by someone who is not a qualified dentist.

You won't go to physio who isn't qualified.

You would not have surgery done by someone who may have watched all episodes of Grey's Anatomy, but isn't a board certified surgeon.

You wouldn't have even have a facial from an unqualified beautician ....

Then why are we happy to pay a LOT of money for people who are claiming to be dog professionals, yet who hold zero qualifications in dog training / behaviour ?

The industry is unregulated, which is a big problem. I don't know whether that will ever change, but I remain hopeful. But perhaps that would change sooner if we all started to expect more from dog professionals?

🐶🧠🔍 Can you help researchers looking into 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗴𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗗𝘆𝘀𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (aka )? Part of their focus is on the experience of the guardians caring for these dogs (and in general). They're currently exploring the concept of anticipatory grief in guardians of senior dogs.

You only get one chance at raising your puppy, so be careful what advice you follow! We run live video classes that are modern and comprehensive, because we want to ensure that in 5 years time you have the dog that you wanted. You don’t think live video will work? I would have to say that over 1000 puppy families we have trained this way would disagree. If you have a puppy under 20 weeks, jump into our Tuesday 6:30pm class this week!

Live video puppy classes are a fantastic way to get you and your puppy off to an amazing start to life! No outdated obedience training here, only modern force free life skills that will help your puppy to become the confident, calm, sidekick making all the best life decisions!!

Why do we love live video classes?? Less distractions! The low level of distractions, means the puppies and their families can learn better. When we are teaching hard behaviours with a clicker that is paramount. Think you are missing out on socialisation?? We teach socialisation protocols, which you practice out in the world where they should be done!! Why settle for an average local class teaching things you could learn off YouTube, when you can join our advanced video classes. Prep your dog for life, sports, therapy or even assistance work.

We still have a spot in Tuesday 6:30pm, enrol ASAP so we can help you on this journey.

All of the info and enrolment form is here
