Seeing this post from Rosecroft Canine Rehabilitation Centre this morning has made my day.

Henry has come so far on his hydro journey. He's not one for being restrained or confined in small spaces, everything is important to him, and he believes mostly everything will have a bad outcome. He's why I do what I do and is my best teacher in life.

Katie has been absolutely amazing with Henry, taking time to get to know Henry. Not over days and just one or two appointments, but months. The progress you can see in these videos has often felt like we're getting nowhere, and some sessions we didn't get anywhere. Or so it may have looked from an outsider. But Katie has got to know him gradually and has listened to him and met him where he was at on any particular day.

I highly recommend Katie and her growing team of positive pet professionals. Book a free meet and greet and tour of the fabulous facilities.

Thank you Katie and Rosecroft Canine Rehabilitation Centre.

There is still a small window of time!!!

My conversation with Marilyn Mele went live today! It was lovely speaking with her about something I’m passionate about:

“Growing Confidence & Optimism for Grooming using Games”

Also, today Marilyn's interviews with Sue Williamson and Daniella Stewart went live.

You've still got time to catch all our conversations for FREE if you sign up today. You'll have until lunchtime tomorrow to watch them and then they'll be gone unless you upgrade, which at just $47 to get access to all 30 speakers is a bargain!

It is possible to change the way your dog thinks and feels around being touched and handled with games, combined with proven gentle (and fun) behavioural techniques.

Jump in now so you don’t miss out.

Added Bonus! Each speaker is giving away freebies to everyone who signs up so just by registering you’ll have access to some wonderful resources.

⭐️Course Feedback⭐️

"Excellent! Love the videos that showed the games in use during grooming sessions ..... More real-life on the job demos please! Victoria - you do talk a lot..... it makes you who you are so please don't change that ;)"

I loved creating my first course, 𝙁𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙂𝙖𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙃𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙮 𝙃𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜, and receiving fabulous reviews from participants really makes me happy 😊.

My plan for 2026 is to spread the word further about how games can help make grooming and vet visits less stressful, even enjoyable. Not just for dogs and their guardians, but groomers too.

If you'd like to learn more, drop me a note and let me know your location. I’ll be hitting the road with the Happy Henry’s! Happy Handling System and am taking bookings now.
