I’m a great believer in doing the best you can do for your fur babies! These are my crew. They are all rescue dogs (apart from Gizmo). Rufus is on the left, then Gizmo. They are both 3yrs ish, then Bear who might be 7yrs now and Jack on the right who is 9yrs. I love ❤️ helping people have fun with their dogs from enjoying walks, to home life, to scent work, tricks and agility.

Rufus came to me from the SPCA with agressive and trust issues due to previous home at about 1yr old. Bear was found roaming in Southland and had some separation issues. Jack found his way to me through a advert to rehome privately due to change in family circumstances at 6 months old. He had little to no training, fearful and no socialisation. Jack started me on my fear free deep dog behaviour training dive, which in turn now helps you!

Unfortunately our pet industry is not regulated, so anyone can start a kennels, dog walking business, daycare, say they are a trainer etc., so as an owner really hard to navigate what is good/bad. At a doctors you don’t ask to see doctor qualifications as they work at the clinic, but pets are different. There really is little regulations and standards, which is ridiculous New Zealand!!!

Do your research. Do not be afraid to ask questions. Always ask when looking for a new pet service, for if they are trained in dog behaviour? Do they have an actual qualification or 5?! Maybe even check how they get their qualifications? Ask others and google reviews? Are they a member of pet dog trainers nz? Are they trained in pet first aid? how are the dogs transported? how many dogs involved etc? How are dogs paired if out together? What are their methods?
