🎄 Quick Tips to Keep Your Dogs Safe This Christmas 🎄

1️⃣ Decorations Safety: Keep ornaments, tinsel, and fairy lights out of reach to avoid chewing hazards. 🧑‍🎄✨
2️⃣ Tree Stability: Secure your Christmas tree to prevent it from toppling if your dog bumps it. 🎄🐾
3️⃣ No Toxic Treats: Avoid giving chocolate, mince pies, or anything with raisins to your pup. 🍫🚫🐕
4️⃣ Gift Wrapping Caution: Dispose of ribbons and wrapping paper—these can be dangerous if swallowed. 🎁🛑
5️⃣ Visitors & Calm Spaces: Provide a quiet area for your dog to retreat to if things get too busy and overwhelming for your dog. 🛋️💤
6️⃣ Supervise with Candles: Keep lit candles far away from wagging tails. 🕯️🔥
7️⃣ Limit Table Scraps: Stick to dog-safe treats and avoid fatty or spiced foods. See below for more on this 🍗🚫🐶

Stay festive and lets keep our dogs safe! 🎅🐾

🌴Its Senior Puppy Graduation time and our last class for 2024 🌴 🥳

I was so blessed to end the year with this awesome group of Senior pups and their lovely hoomans. We had Charlie the Cavoodle, Cookie the Groodle, Larry the Golden Retriever, Nancy the Mini Dachshund and Teddy the Cocker Spaniel. ☺🐕🙏❤️

Despite the challenges we had with the weather and it being so hot, this clever group of senior pups still did so well learning their new pup skills each week. Whilst the class ended up being quite the Puppy Party at times lol, this groups social skills and growth in confidence to interact and play was just awesome to watch, and you all deserve gold stars!! ⭐️⭐️We also had a wee pup crush develop between Cookie and Larry which was just so sweet to watch.. 🥰😍🐕🦮

Thanks again for being such a wonderful group to work with and thanks for making the last class of 2024 the best ever!! 😊🙏

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year🎅🎄😊

🌟 Meet Blake: The Incredible Aussie Shepherd! 🐾

I recently had the absolute joy of completing Blake’s annual Public Access Test—and of course, she passed with flying colours! 🎉🐕‍🦺

This dynamic duo never ceases to amaze me. Blake and her handler share a bond that is truly one-of-a-kind. It’s a beautiful partnership built on trust, love, and teamwork, and it shines through in everything they do. 💖

Blake is more than just a skilled assistance dog; she’s her handler’s unwavering support system. Always eager to lend a paw, Blake takes her role seriously and approaches every task with enthusiasm and grace. Watching her in action is a reminder of just how incredible and life-changing these dogs can be for their humans. 🌟🐾

Blake’s dedication to her handler and her ability to perform her tasks with such precision and joy is nothing short of inspiring. This team is proof of what’s possible when hard work, training, and an unbreakable bond come together.

A huge congratulations to Blake and her handler on another successful year of working together. You both deserve every bit of recognition for the amazing partnership you share. It’s always an honour to work with you, and I can’t wait to see you again next year! 🥳🐶
