Hello pup…

Meet my pal Gus 🐾
A bull breed x
And very much a teenager.

Gus is going through big changes as his brain hits adolescence.
This can look like:
• Big emotions
• Reacting before thinking
• Feeling overwhelmed by things that felt easy just months ago

This is normal teenage dog behaviour.

During this stage, impulse control dips while emotions run high. Skills aren’t gone just access to them is just a bit unreliable. That’s where routine, predictability, and safety matter most.

Right now, Gus’s family are doing a fantastic job.
Instead of pushing him to cope with more, we’re actually making his world smaller and more predictable so he can feel safe while his brain works through these changes.

Teenage dogs don’t need pressure, they need support, consistency, and calm guidance so they can grow into confident, safe adult dogs ❤️

(And yes… he tried to stop me leaving, which I was absolutely okay with 🤣)

Such fantastic news that Qantas are now supporting Care Dogs & Co dogs and handlers on flights 👏🏽

✨ A Historic Milestone for Care Dogs & Co! ✨

Yesterday marked a truly historic moment our very first team successfully flew with Qantas! 🐾✈️

The application process was fairly standard; however, Qantas requested some additional information, which we were more than happy to provide.

We’re thrilled to see this positive step forward and are incredibly proud to have been part of this progress.

We look forward to strengthening our relationship with Qantas and sincerely applaud their efforts to update outdated policies surrounding Assistance Dogs.

Here’s to making travel more inclusive — one flight at a time! 💙🐶
