Hi everyone,
We reaching out to gauge interest in our Puppy classes for under 6 month olds! We have a minimum number requirement so are hoping to see if there is enough interest.

The course includes four sessions, each lasting about an hour. We’ll focus on building confidence to help develop well-rounded pups, teaching basic skills, using reinforcement effectively, fostering a strong relationship between you and your dog, and appropriate socialization with other dogs.

The proposed start date is Monday, March 3rd, at 6:00 PM.

To register your interest, please email us at [email protected]

Looking forward to hearing from you!

I want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone for supporting our small business this year.

It’s been a challenging year for us. We’ve had to say goodbye to more clients than ever before – even more than during the pandemic. 😳 This hasn’t been because people no longer need their dogs walked, but more often due to financial struggles.

We’re incredibly grateful to all of you who’ve continued to trust us during these tough times. To our new clients who’ve joined us this year, welcome and thank you for giving us the chance to care for your pups. And to those who’ve had to step away, we appreciate every bit of support you’ve given us – whether it was through using our services, engaging with our social media, or referring us to friends. Every little thing means so much to us.

A massive thank you as well for all the thoughtful Christmas gifts! They’ve truly brightened our days (and my snack cupboard – I think I’ll be eating chocolate well into next year! 😆).

We wish you all a magical holiday season filled with love, laughter, good food, and plenty of puppy cuddles. 🐕🎄🎅❤️ Thank you again for being part of our journey this year.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended the presentation! It truly felt like a huge success. The feedback we received during and after the session was exactly what I hoped for: helping to ease the minds of dog owners. Your concerns are valid, and I’m glad the advice shared could help build your confidence and reduce anxiety during walks with your dogs.

We’re excited to host more events like this for the community and potentially expand to other areas if there’s enough interest.

A special shoutout to for generously sponsoring the goodie bags—though I nearly forgot to hand them out at the end! 😆

Here's a collection of some of our favourite runs for your viewing pleasure 🐕
Video one; Gillys awesome run. First run of the weekend for me and it was a cracker of a start 👌
Video two; Topaz and I attempting a novice course. I wanted to post this one so you could see the weather we were battling on the first day there! 🌧
Video three; Topaz's 1st place Jumpers C run ⭐️
Video four; DD's Novice final. She lacks confidence to start and picks up, managing to finish the course. Super impressed with how far this dog has come. Last year at nationals I scratched her from the final as I knew she wouldn't cope with the crowd and a thunderstorm rolled over at the same time. This year she smashed it and exceeded expectations entirely!
Video five; DD's 1st place Novice run ⭐️

Labour weekend was spent at the agility nationals in Wellington 🌧
Despite the crap weather, my dogs pulled off some amazing runs. Some of those runs we were disqualified but surprisingly we managed to snag a few good placings with some clear rounds.
We qualified for 3 finals which was pretty cool, even though I didn't realise we were in one and ran it blindly 😆
We went out there to have an epic roadie with our friends and have some fun playing agility. We did exactly that and also got drenched in the process 🌊
Proud of the old girl Gilly, although she would much rather be hunting in the bush, she will run around a course like a circus monkey to please me 🐒 Her second ever clear and a 6th place ribbon is pretty special at a show like this. Every time I declare that this is her last show, she does something spectacular 😆🐕
Boo also did awesome, I stupidly only entered her in two runs. Her first run was awesome but we made some mistakes. Her second run was cancelled due to the weather! Next time I'll make sure to give her more opportunity, she's a little rockstar ⭐️

We have some classes coming up in November!
Get in quick to get your spot.
We may run a day time basic obedience class on a Friday too if there is enough interest 🐕
Domestic obedience is held in Maramarua.
Everything else in Ngatea including the daytime Friday class if it goes ahead 😊

Ella did awesome this weekend and is going to be a great addition to Thursday pack 🐕
As always, it's been awesome having Zela stay and she's such a good dog to use alongside my personals for assessing new dogs 🥰
