My sincerest apologies for neglecting this page. I am still boarding dogs but I prefer to receive texts on 0439579730.
A small boarding kennel in Renmark SA Boarders are a part of the family and get treats for being good kids. Several other options are available.
A Country Gem is a social kennel with dogs (who are safe with others) often playing, running, exploring, chasing birds and sniffing together. There are 3 24sqm runs with 6ft wire walls and one with a roof for the escapists out there. Dogs can stay for extended periods, for a weekend, for a day play or a few hours. I can collect them from workplaces or homes.

My medication was changed by the doctor and it has knocked me around a lot. I will not be accepting any bookings until I feel better. Of course I'll honour those booking already made. Please understand as I'm sure you will β€
I'm a 2-year-old Ridgeback Cross with a zest for athletics. Heard of the high jump? I am a real contender! But really, if you take the time to bond with me (within 24 hours I'll know), I won't try to run away. I mean it. I want a family who want to spend time with me, who let me stretch my legs with long runs and who let me have use of both the indoor and outdoor areas. I'm really good with a doggy door you know!
When you leave me alone, It's probably best I stay indoors or in a secure run. That way the temptation of a fence isn't there. At least until I know you're here to stay.
At my last foster home, I didn't even try to jump the fence one time, they understood me there. But it's time to find my own family now.
I'm a clever girl. I know some basic obedience and am house trained. I'm not too shabby on a leash but could benefit from continued training.
With regard to sleeping, I want to sleep where you do. Not in your bed, but in your room. I mean, I will sleep in your bed if you really want though.
I'm pretty friendly, I like other dogs. I would like someone who wants to run around with me. Preferably someone a similar size though, those teensy dogs are a bit different. Don't let us share bones though, my treats are sacred, I want them all to myself.
Anywho, enough about me, tell me about yourself. Do you think we could make a good team? I'd really like to try and be best friends!
I really look forward to meeting you!

A lovely adventure at Tangari with my two, Blackie and Leela. It's a cool little park in Happy Valley with 2 open areas sandwiched by natural dense bushland.

In light of recent tragedies, Jen, Helen and I had an overwhelming urge to come together to share our insights into trauma that can be experienced with family dogs. In this 30min chat we discuss the SPECIFIC help that is out there for parents, children and dogs - outside of dog 'training'. How...
Dear little Daisy has finally trusted me enough to ask for pats πππ
This is what nightmares are made of!!!! πππ
A teacher gave a balloon to every student, who had to inflate it, write their name on it and throw it in the hallway. The teacher then mixed all the balloons. The students were then given 5 minutes to find their own balloon. Despite a hectic search, no one found their balloon.
At that point, the teacher told the students to take the first balloon that they found and hand it to the person whose name was written on it. Within 5 minutes, everyone had their own balloon.
The teacher said to the students: "These balloons are like happiness. We will never find it if everyone is looking for their own. But if we care about other people's happiness, we'll find ours too."
May your day be filled with happiness. β€οΈ
Scout having the time of her life!! It was a lot of fun watching her so excited to play with the water. Bear and Lenny had a dip too.
Two roofers are here replacing gutters and I didn't think it would be conducive to their efficiency, for them to have 5 large boisterous dogs wanting to be their buddies. The horses have been kicked out of the paddock and dogs have moved in.
After Macey, Tilly, Scout, Bear and Lenny chased the ball and/or each other for a good while, the pool was filled. I do love seeing the dogs so happy here.
Well....der.
Dogs not only make our outer world a better place, but also our inner world.

Hi all, poor little Staffy Poppy went home and the next day began vomiting. On Mum and Dad's bed I add π The vet gave her an injection to stop her vomiting and she's slowly getting back to her crazy self π
Not sure what the cause was so if anyone else's dog has the same issue please let me know. I'd hate for something to be on my property, like a plant, that's harmful and not know about it.

Education friends
Animal-assisted education is an emerging field gaining increased popularity due to the recognised benefits interaction with animals can have on children's health, well-being, and motivation. Schools are busy places; therefore, additional considerations need to be made if considering incorporating animal-assisted education into your school. To assist, ATL has developed an information pack to inform teachers ad the wider school community of the benefits and considerations of introducing animal-assisted education into your school.

Frankie started off scared and so nipped if they came close. By the end of our walk, she's smiling and happier to share her space. Well done Frankie π₯

Introducing Australian Cattle Dog Frankie. She is 5 months old and had her first sleepover last night. She did well. Great that she doesn't have that ACD bark....yet π€
New fella Rex is boisterous but friendly PS My voice sounds real strange π€·ββοΈ
Young Daisy is a rescue and joined her forever family not too long ago. Goodness knows how humans have let her down in the past so it is understandable that she takes a long long time to trust. Walking on a retractable lead allows her to be close for a few seconds and then move out again. Having a positive experience with me and my dogs getting a cuddle allows her to learn from them, that people are positive, despite some being ***holes. Well done to Daisy's family for committing to giving a dog like Daisy a loving family, despite her challenges.
(Play Playschool theme music) There's a Bear in here and some friends as well. There are races to run and a tail to steer. He's in love with us and all the fuss. It's A Country Gem.
Parker hardly put a paw wrong. Muddy puddles, running, speed, Macey to race....what more could a Cattle Dog x want?!!!
A lovely evening to play with everyone and everyone gets a turn πΎπ₯π₯
Marley is Macey's best friend so any chance we have for her to join us, she is all for it.
