🩵🩵 I'M READY, LET'S GO! 🩵🩵

Marshall was keen for a walk today and he walks lovely on lead. The car ride is just as enjoyable for him as the walk as he loves to stick his his head out the window. With the wind in his hair, he loves taking in all the sights and smells along the way.

I shared my water with him when we got back to the car as it was thirsty work walking in the sunshine. 🌞🐾💖

Marshall is in foster care with Tiki Animal Rescue and is on the lookout for a forever home.

💥💥💥GREAT NEWS💥💥💥

Dogs will be allowed to travel on The Spirit of Tasmainia in a cabin with their humans. 🤩

Animals will no longer be forced to stay separate to their owners, with the Spirit of Tasmania set to change their policies when the new ships launch in 2025.

The two new ships will each have 18 cabins dedicated to accommodating furry friends and their owners, with a designated outdoor area available for dogs to stretch their legs and enjoy some fresh sea air on a lead.

In addition to the cabins, the ferries will also have a secure climate-controlled pet housing area with kennels for dogs of all breeds and sizes.

A long training lead is a great tool to keep your dog safe, but still allow them extra room to run around, play and explore.

This is exactly what I used today when I took Labrador pup Pomie down to the park so she could have some fun in the sun.

💥💥💥THE BEST NEWS EVER 💥💥💥

After 873 days in foster care, Shane has officially been adopted! He now has his very own family all to himself, to share a wonderful life with. After a year of us walking together, I miss him, but I am very happy for him.

A big shout out to Geoff and Annette from Tiki Animal Rescue who have looked after him all this time. They continue to foster more dogs as sadly the need is always there.

Shane is a perfect example of how fostering saves lives. 🩵🩵

All ready for another week of dog walking with a NEW back seat hammock. This was great value from Amazon. When walking multiple dogs, some need to be in the back seat as well as the cargo area.

After all the rain over the last few weeks, it was time for a clean out and wash of all the doggy covers, towels etc.

15/08/2024

I got these 3 munchkins out to stretch their legs today when we finally had a break in the rain.

All 3 are in foster care with Tiki Animal Rescue. We saw another 3 dogs being walked and while there was curiosity for the other dogs, it was amazing to see there was no negative reaction from these 3.

Puppy Pomie! So much energy and sharp little teeth, but I did manage to get a quick cuddle. She was very happy after a run around at the park on a long lead.

12/08/2024

These would be great at our off lead beaches.

❌️ WARNING - DISTRESSING CONTENT❌️

This is why you do not give pets away for free.

Not only are pets advertised as "free to good home" at risk of being used as bait dogs in dog fighting rings, but now this comes to light.

Please sign the petition for tougher laws and a lifetime ban for anyone like this ever being allowrd to own an animal again.

Animal abuser and zoologist Adam Britton, who pled guilty to dozens of offences involving the torture, r**e and killing of dogs, and possession of child abuse material was sentenced today to just 10 years and 5 months – with a non-parole of 6 years.

Britton was a zoologist and crocodile expert in Darwin who used Gumtree to source ‘free to good home’ dogs, by convincing people that their beloved companion was going to a loving home, only to take the animals to what he referred to as his ‘torture room’, and reportedly filmed himself torturing them, sexually assaulting them, and often killing them.

Across the country our laws on animal sexual abuse are failing - we have a campaign to ensure that animal sexual abuse laws around Australia are strengthened – including tougher penalties and automatic lifetime animal bans for anyone convicted of these horrific offences. Sign the petition - https://www.emmahurstmp.com/animal_sexual_abuse_sqjtvdrg9fn11xmhj-r6mq.

We are looking into Federal law changes as well as updates on a state level - I know this is not a topic anyone wants to talk about, but it is not something we can ignore- help us protect animals from sexual abuse

❓️LAST CHANCE TO GUESS THE BREEDS❓️

Do you think you know which dog breeds beautiful Polly is? Post your guess below as tomorrow all will be revealed.

07/08/2024

😁😁 VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULT😁😁

I didn't know if I would be able to walk these three together after the first introduction of Ralph and Echo did not go the best. Cookie and Ralph have been walking buddies for years, without issue.

But, with time and patience it has worked out. Using two walkers, we would walk these guys together, but still gave them space. They became used to being relaxed in each other's company and would even sneak a sniff of each other here and there on the walk.

Look how happy they were on today's walk! I can walk the three of them together myself. Ralph and Echo do have different play styles, so if they are offlead together, it just requires some careful management and all dogs enjoy the experience.

A big shout out to our walkers Doug and Sarah for their care and kindness trying to save a baby wallaby.

The mother had been hit and killed by a car earlier. Someone had dragged her off the road, but must not have checked the pouch. There was a joey inside.

Sarah did check the pouch and found the baby, who was quite cold by this stage. Doug was able to take the baby to the vet. Sadly, it was too late for the baby. The joey had to be put to sleep as it had been left too long.

If you see a wallaby, kangaroo, possum etc that has been killed, check for a pouch. If you are unable to do so, for whatever reason, you can call Wildlife Arc or Wires on the Central Coast and they will send someeone out to check.

If you do find a joey in the pouch, it is best to call them as well. A young joey will have it's mouth fused to the teat and can not just be removed without damage.

Trevor always likes to say thank you after I have walked him.

29/07/2024

Who wouldn't want to add one of these gorgeous faces to their family photos! 🤩

Captured today on their walk, both Indi and Marshall are in search of their forever homes. Marshall is not suited to a suburban backyard. He needs a bit more room to be the best maremma he can be. They both walked beautifully on lead today.

It's the second time I have walked Marshall and it was noticeable how much more settled he is after time in foster care. 🩵

Both are in care with Tiki Animal Rescue. This is Indi's profile.

Two new puppy clients enjoyed their very first walks with K9 Walkers this afternoon.

Pomie the chocolate labrador is 5 months old and we came across a 9 year old female chocolate labrador while we were walking. Of course they had to say hello to each other.

Toby is 7 months old and a miniature schnauzer. No doggy encounters for him, but plenty of people caught his attention on the walk.

Two little bundles of energy, who were much calmer when they were returned home, after their walks.

22/07/2024

My schedule for Mondays and Thursdays include walks for foster dogs in care with Tiki Animal Rescue. It's a bit of a lucky dip as I don't know who I am walking until I get there.

This time around it was foster dogs Jack and Indi along with host dog Trevor at the front.

Jack and Indi have made wonderful progress in foster care and would both love a home of their own. Good food, care and regular outings in the car, along with walks help these dogs prepare for their new lives, while they await their forever humans to find them. 🤩🐾🐕💖

Happy 11th Birthday to my sweet Cookie!
Extra special food and cuddles today along with an outing.

My previous girl Chelsea, did not make it to her 12th Birthday, so we treasure every moment we get to spend with Cookie as she ages. 🩷🩷

Did anyone holler for a Marshall? 🤩
Because here he is and he's a stunner! 😍

First time meeting and walking Marshall the Maremma today. He is in foster care with Tiki Animal Rescue.

He has the perfect coat for today's windy winter conditions. Click on photo for full view.

💥💥 BABY GOAT EMERGENCY VISIT💥💥

Working with animals, you just never know what the day will bring. 🤩

A received a call just after lunch from a client stuck in Sydney. She had days old triplet baby goats needing bottle feeding as mumma goat was having some issues and not able to feed them.

How could you resist these beautiful babies. So little and they loved a snuggle on my lap as well. I know the mumma goat and she was quite OK with my being in the pen with her and handling her babies.

11/07/2024

Freya is spending some time with us. We had to go for a walk so my dogs could show her the local sights and the best places to explore.

Puppy visits this week with beautiful 3 month old Golden Retriever puppy Lila.

Lila's Mum had work to do away from home and contacted K9 Walkers to see how we could assist with Lila. We worked out a plan to minimise the time Lila was home alone and did twice daily visits.

Not only did Lila not miss out on her lunch and snacks, but she got to spend time outside in the yard to continue her toilet training. Lila's Mum comes home to a happy, settled puppy with with minimal or no toileting inside.

Lila is also loving the playtime and one on one attention with each visit.

Welfare check on the goats today. #k9walkers #centralcoastpetsitter #goatsofinstagram #anglonubian #ourimbahpetsitter

First walk today for gorgeous Rosie who is in foster care with Tiki Animal Rescue and is looking for a home. This girl is the complete package. Social, well mannered and gorgeous. I even discovered today she shakes hands with both paws. #huskylove #adoptme #k9walkers #centraloastdogwalker

We have the best job! Who wouldn't want to spend their days getting kisses from beautiful dogs? OK, our days are not always filled with kisses, there is a lot of poop too. 🤣🤣 But today was like that, from very appreciative dogs in foster care with Tiki Animal Rescue, who love being taken out for a walk. Firstly Shane, who covered my face with licks when I was putting his harness on. Then this little fella, Clarence who at 10 months loves to put his head and paw in your lap and snuggle into your shoulder. They are both just divine.🩵🩵

My 5 top tips for a positive dig park experience. 1. Keep your dog on lead going to and from the car to the dog park entry. I see so many dogs allowed to jump straight out of the car and run to the gate. Not all dogs who are entering or leaving will react well to an off lead dog running up to them. Even though they are OK with this when off lead inside the park. On lead, they are stuck with nowhere to go. 2. Once you enter the park, do not stay near the entry gate. Dogs crowding the entrance to the dog park can be intimidating for other dogs as they enter. 3. Keep your dog moving, afterall you are there to exercise your dog. There are lots of smells to explore as well as physical movement. You are less likely to have a bad interaction with another dog if you keep your dog moving. If the park is busy, I like to walk my dogs over to a quieter section of the park. 4. Watch your dog! You think this would be a given, but so many people do not watch their dogs. It is not the time to be on your phone or talking to other dog owners so much that you don't know what your dog is doing. You also need to watch them to know they have pooped so you can clean it up. 5. Don't let your dog harass another dog and don't let another dog harass yours. When one dog is not enjoying the interaction, it is time to split them up. This also includes one dog trying to mount another. You may need to step in for your own dog if the dog owner of the other dog doing the harasing does not step in. This is why you need to watch your dog and act before things get out of control. If there are multiple dogs causing issues and the dog owners are not controlling their dogs, leaving the park may be the safest option.

Being a kelpie/husky cross, Banjo has a lot of energy! So I drove him to the park and put him on a long lead so he could have a good run around. He looks like he was very happy with that. 😁 #k9walkers #bringingjoytodogs #centralcoastdogwalker #k9walkersbanjo

Happy Easter K9 Walkers style!

Dogs go crazy for our walks. Just look at Bongo's face! 🤣🤣 #k9walkers #k9walkersbongo #centralcoastdogwalker

The perfect end to a hot day is a play and swim in the water. #k9walkers #centralcoastdogwalker #bringingjoytodogs #waterdogs #kelpiesofinstagram

Our latest wildlife encounter while out dog walking. 🐍

🇦🇺🇦🇺 Happy Australia Day🇦🇺🇦🇺 Photo shoot today at my house and how to give the dogs something to do in this heat. 🤩 #australiaday #australiaday2024 #kelpie

Special delivery for Banjo today, who we are taking care of this week. I dropped off a plastic pool for him to keep cool in over the next couple of days. He was quite happy with the new addition to the yard. Had a drink, stood in it to wet his paws, played bitey games at the water and allowed me to wet his head and fur with the water. Good result all round I would say. 🩵👍💧😀 #k9walkers #centralcoastpetsitter #bringingjoytodogs

Wishing everyone, a wonderful and safe Christmas. Enjoy your time off and we are here when you need us again. 🎄✨️💖🐕🐾 #k9walkers #bringingjoytodogs #merrychristmas2023 Music: Jingle Bells Musician: Kevin MacLeod URL: https://filmmusic.io/song/3944-jingle-bells License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode

It was too hot for a walk at the park so I brought Lenny and Livvy to my place for a swim. Great exercise while keeping cool! 😍😍 #k9walkers #centralcoastdogwalker #bringingjoytodogs #swimmingdog #labradorsofinstagram #waterdog #k9walkerslenny #k9walkerslivvy

Whirlwind puppy Brandy is non-stop for the entire visit. It is easy to forget how much energy puppies have. 🤣🤣 We love being able to do puppy visits for our clients so they don't have to worry when they are at work. Playtime, toilet break, cleanup, lunch and human interaction with lots of pats and kisses. We do have the best job! 💖 #k9walkers #centralcoastdogwalker #centralcoastpetsitter #puppyvisits #bringingjoytodogs #kingcharlescavalier #puppyplaytime #puppylove #k9walkersbrandy

Summer time fun! 🐕🐾🌊😍🥎 #k9walkers #centralcoastdogwalker #bringingjoytodogs #kelpiesofinstagram #beachdogs

It just so happened that Scooby's 14th Birthday today coincided with his walk day. Extra treats and pats today, but he always loves his walks. He may need some help getting into the car these days, but he is still doing great! Have the best day Scooby Doo!
