Awesome morning welcoming new students for transition day 🐾

Many relaxed students and parents after a few pats ❤️

Then up to year 12’s for exam time 🙏
Most of the students feel so much calmer & confident going into their exams after spending some time with our Trained Therapy dogs ❤️🐾

Todays sessions 🐾

Riplee & Hollea being such good puppas despite having a lot of uneducated people trying to get their attention while working…

This is why we train for the best & worse case situations to ensure our dogs are able to work through anything 🙏

Ps- I was told today that I’ll make my dog fat if I keep feeding her, little did they know that was actually her breakfast & utilising it for training is actually more beneficial, your giving them their meal while training them, annnndddd they don’t get over fed…

I often get told my Labradors are too skinny, but in fact, people are just used to seeing fat Labradors and don’t actually know what a fit puppy looks like 🤦‍♀️

Happy vet nurse day!

This week is full of special days!

We love our vet nurses! They are always up for a cuddle & always ensure our dogs are well looked after no matter why they are at the vet ❤️

We appreciate all the hard work you guys do behind the scenes and in front of clients & us ❤️🐾

I cannot find pics of our pups with their fav nurses but I will post them when I come across them 🫣😝

Today was world mental health day.. I did miss it however we should acknowledge mental health on a daily basis not just one day!

Working with our beautiful therapy dogs & assistance dog teams, has opened my eyes up to so many things, but the main thing being that you never know what someone is going through..

They may seem ok on the outside but our wonderful dogs sometimes bring more than just a smile to peoples faces…

They bring joy, comfort, sense of being loved & understood, being able to forget about the crazy world & our issues just to be in the moment with one of our dogs feeling the pure love & happiness they grace us with.

What our dogs bring is something humans wont ever be able to replicate!

So be kind to everyone, everyday… you never know when they need to smile.. even just saying hi, giving a smile, or asking how they are might just make their day a little better or a lot 🐾❤️

Enjoy some heartwarming pics of our visits over the last few weeks.. 🥰😍

😍

I may not have all my ducks in a row but I certainly have my dogs in a row 🤣❤️🐾

It’s so nice to have comments by the public on how well behaved our dogs are..

this is what I strive for, to teach people how to teach their dogs to be good dogs and if I can’t do it myself then why should you believe it can be done..

If I can do it with 7, you can do it with 1 or 2 🙂 you just have to put the effort in 🙏

Join one of our classes to start your training journey 🐾

Did you know that our dogs are purpose bred for therapy & assistance roles?

It takes a very special dog to be able to provide the services we offer, and only makes it possible with the best breeding & lines and of course the training that goes into these dogs.

This is something we take very seriously behind the scenes with our dogs.

We have our own breeding program in the works to ensure the most capable dogs out in the community for these specific roles, and that our dogs are fit for the job & longevity of their work.

Our dogs have come from generations of carefully selected breeding pairs to ensure their health is the highest standard, and their temeperaments to match, and their future pups will be also carefully selected for the roles ❤️

The future is very exciting with our 2 beautiful Therapy Dogs Oaklea & Ellea having just had part of their health testing done 🐾

Today, Therapy Dogs Oaklea & Bailea took a trip to visit our wonderful Hervey Bay Police Station for this special day. Today is National Police Remembrance Day, honouring those officers who have given their lives for the community.

We thank all officers across Australia & especially our Hervey Bay & Maryborough stations ❤️
We are so grateful we get to bring our wonderful therapy dogs into the stations to bring joy & happiness to the officers and let them take 5 in their stressful days to cuddle & laugh at our pups 🐾

How are your school holidays going?

Our pups have had a fantastic break so far but are keen to get back to school! ❤️🐾

So incredibly proud of Hollea ❤️

Her 3rd trip to Bunnings but 1st one on the ground (not in a trolley) and she absolutely smashed it!!!

Setting them up for success first!
🐾Starting in the carpark, gaining focus & understanding of basic cues that she has learnt at home.
🐾 then a few stops in the garden section.. again reinforcing the engagement
🐾 then into the store part

This is why it’s important to set your foundations while they are young AND ALSO to start with the right dog first. Breeding, temperament, workability, confidence all in one beautiful little black lab!

We had all sorts of experiences today, noisy trucks, kids, people, walky trolleys, normal trolleys, Flappy price signs, all the sights & sounds in Bunnings, scary halloween things (didn’t even bother her) and then as we walked out there was a truck unloading plants so lots of noisy rattling etc 🥹 then was rewarded (along with all the treats she got in there) with a game of tug in the carpark ❤️
She has set the bar high!

Cannot wait to see how far she goes ❤️🥰🐾

Term 3 is over & the pups are excited for a very well deserved break!

We have achieved so much over term 3 including adding 2 new additions to the team 🐾

It has been a massive term with lots of events, visits, celebrations plus so many more achievements ❤️🐾

Thankyou so much to handler Leanne for her amazing dedication to training Therapy dog ELLEA, and attending multiple visits even when I was unable to 🙏

Thanks heaps to our wonderful therapy dog team Bailea, Oaklea, Ellea, Milea, Riplee & Hollea. Without you pups, we wouldn’t be where we are today!

And a massive Thankyou to our schools, police stations, UNI and everywhere else we visit for your support & encouragement ❤️ we love being able to keep our standards high with our training & wellbeing for our dogs to allow us to provide you guys with the unconditional love & happiness our dogs bring 🐾

If you are interested in having a visit from our teams, or even just an info session about what our therapy dogs do, please reach out but spots are very limited with ongoing bookings so be quick to secure a time for a visit with our purpose bred & trained pups.. they will never leave without putting a smile on everyone’s face, or making your day ❤️

Enjoy the pics ❤️🐾
