Drop Off and Pick Up Times:

8.00am-9.00am - Mon- Sun
5.00pm - 6.00pm - Mon - Sun

If you need to come outside these hours…

We are happy to organise our schedule around you picking your pets up out of hours but ONLY if you arrive at the time stated. We exercise full paddocks of dogs and if your pet is waiting for you when we do this, they will get upset. If you arrive while we are doing this, the

paddock dogs will bark and fight. If you tell us what time you will be here, we will reschedule our day for you, but if you aren’t here at that time. Sorry, but you’ll have to come back at the next drop off/pick up hour. This is a safety issue and a noise control issue. That’s our fair deal for out of hours pick up.

Our cattery has been purposely built as a home away from home for cats. They get half a normal size room to themselves with outside areas to stretch while Kate cleans them out. Goldfish and cat nip keep them entertained on their breaks, but carpet scratch walls and huge window sills with cushions in every half room.

Our first Sunday class for the September intake kicked off with a little bit of rain, but that didn’t dampen our spirits!
It was the perfect chance to remember about perseverance and the importance of showing up, even when the weather doesn’t cooperate, our dogs still need us too!!!

A big thank you to everyone who came along—raincoats and all. Looking forward to seeing your journey evolve with your pups 🐶

Join us for our first dog obedience theory session as part of the September 2024 intake!

Today’s introductory class was all about getting to know each other and our dogs, even though our furry friends stayed at home. We shared our experience and insights to our dogs’ behaviors and talked about how our basic obedience classes will help you have ‘a great family dog’.

Mrs. Higgins, and Grudge reminded us that, just like us, some days they’re spot on, and other days… well, not so much.
Learning to work with our dogs’ behaviors rather than against them is what makes the journey so rewarding.

We can’t wait to see you all next week, along with your dogs, for our first hands-on training session!!

Our next intake for "It's Not the DOG We're TRAINING" begins on September 28th.

Whether you have a new puppy, a mischievous dog, or just want to strengthen the bond you share with your canine companion, this program is for you. Our first session is a talk held at Kaiata Hall, where we’ll go over the program, discuss what to expect, and get to know each other. This initial meeting is designed to ease any anxiety and set the stage for a successful experience for both you and your dog.

The program fee is $75, which includes the course book. Please note that this fee is non-refundable. If you already own the book, you have the option to gift it to someone else or sponsor a book for our prison system.

Classes are held on Saturdays from 11 AM to 12 PM for six weeks. Please remember to attend the initial talk without your dog.

Register online via our website or feel free to turn up on the day 11am 28th September

Read this review from our recent class

“We reached out to Katie & Dean needing help with our reactive dog Moose. Within a few days Moose had transformed into a calmer more relaxed dog. Katie and Dean were so positive and encouraging towards us and we were already stoked on the progress we had made in such a short period of time we signed up to their obedience class. The lifetime support over Moose’s life that we can and continue to receive from Katie and Dean and the obedience class is so appreciated and invaluable to us because after all It’s not the Dog they’re training! The book is a wonderful resource that everyone should read, I laughed, shed a tear or two and learnt a lot!
We are so thankful for you Katie, Dean, Grudge & Mrs Higgins!

From Aimee, Matt & Moose”
