How cool is this?! Our local Year 12 students have been busy in the workshop building their own dog kennels — and they’ve absolutely nailed it. 👏🐾

We’re sharing their post to help get the word out because this kind of hands-on learning deserves a massive spotlight (and honestly, these kennels are a steal).

🎄 Perfect Christmas gift idea? Found.

Their student-made kennels include:
✔️ Removable roof
✔️ Flat-pack design for easy transport
✔️ Treated pine
✔️ Fully painted and outdoor-ready
✔️ All made by hardworking young locals putting real skills into practice

💲 $100 each, with every cent going straight back into supporting their program and future students.

📞 To grab one, contact the school office — numbers are limited, and they’ll go faster than a labrador spotting a dropped sausage.

Love seeing young people building, creating and getting ready for the big wide world. Let’s support them where we can! 🐶❤️🎁

🐾 QUEENSLAND DOG LAWS HAVE CHANGED AND WE’RE BACKING SAFER DOG COMMUNITIES 🐾

With Queensland tightening dog laws and penalties (including massive fines and even mandatory destruction orders), now more than ever it’s crucial that every dog owner steps up and understands their responsibility.

At IronBark DogPark, we’ve always been big believers in proactive safety, not panic.
And one of the strongest safety tools a dog can have?
👉 A rock-solid recall, even when distracted.

That’s why every dog who attends our Adventure Days gets consistent recall training woven into their play and socialisation. It’s fun, it’s fair, it builds confidence… and it keeps everyone safe, dogs, people, and the wider community.

You’ll see in this reel Jo working with young Max and then you’ll know exactly what we mean.
✨ Distractions everywhere, and he still chose to come when called.
That’s the kind of dog behaviour that prevents accidents and keeps dogs out of trouble.

With the new laws rolling out across QLD, responsible dog ownership isn’t optional, it’s essential.
We’re proud to be part of the solution by building safe, social, confident dogs every single day.

If your dog needs help with recall or confidence around other dogs, reach out, we’re here to help them thrive. 🐕🦮🐾🐕‍🦺🐩

🐾Please see in comments for the new QLD dog laws 🐶
