Our Story
I was born in Abu Dhabi, UAE, and grew up working with animals. Living in a country that was not very tolerant of animals, particularly dogs, left me and my family being treated poorly at times. Despite the negative feelings felt towards me and my family, we always cared and nurtured the animals that came into our home.
I came to Australia in 2006, where I studied a BA in International Business. To help with my expenses, I would walk people's dogs in Hawthorn. Fortunately, given my caring nature and my instant attachment to people's dogs, I developed enough clientele to help me get by. Due to the cost of living in Australia, Melbourne, I was unable to get my own puppy as I was living in an apartment.
Instead, I volunteered my time to various rescue organisations where I helped foster dogs for short periods. To this day, I continue to provide my services to rescue organisations to help animals that are abused and neglected.
After settling in Australia and found myself in better living arrangements, I was lucky enough to have Odis and Layla, who are now my best friends. They have learnt to respect my rules, my house, my friends and my children. In addition, I can confidently take my dogs off-lead to public settings without any concern. These positive behaviors do not come easily. I see time and time again where people add pups their family, and then they re-home them or surrender them to the pounds because they are either aggressive, or out of control. Adding a puppy, or any dog for the matter, is a life long commitment. Put in the simple training from the start, and you will go on to have a positive experience for many years.
