A special wedding was held Saturday in the south suburbs. Love is love, no matter the species. The newlywed canines, Oden and Tsunami, are giving a new name to "the old ball and chain."

Here's a joke---

An old man in overalls sits on the porch and a hound dog lays in the yard. 🐕🏡 🌞👴
A hound dog lays in the yard and an old man in overalls sits on the porch.

"Excuse me, sir, but does your dog bite?" a jogger asks.

The old man looks over his newspaper and replies, "Nope."

As soon as the jogger enters the yard, the dog begins snarling and growling, and then attacks the jogger's legs.

As the jogger flails around in the yard, he yells, "I thought you said your dog didn't bite!"

The old man mutters, "Ain't my dog."

Yarra, the 7 month old Australian Terrier is now ready for a new home.

She spent 2 weeks with us. She is a great little dog which will make anyone smile. She has gone through the toilet training issues with 90% accuracy, she learnt to use the dog door (yah!), she stays in our crate all night, comes back when called, likes to entertain herself, plays with other dogs, and will put a smile on anyone's face.

Cody and Eva on a great weathered walk of 24celcius. If we were in Canada as a child, we would have called this an Indian Summer.

However, I’m not sure if that’s said… basically meaning warm weather in autumn… saying that, we had the coldest March in decades so this weather is quite nice!

Great place that we live in. I thought that I’d go to the beach but stopped here! Great walk in the SouthShore. Hugo missed out!! Hugo is a home body and takes a bit of convincing… he loves running back home :)

How does a big dog like Bojo go through the dog door?

Peppa does a dive. South Spit- you have to watch out for sudden dips and watching dog go under is a little funny!

Bert chasing sand!

Now that’s fast! Nothing like a dog on fire to get the others fired up 🙂 Hugo, Poppy and Bailey… and Max

Even dogs bite their nails! Here’s Sammy!

Brrrr, it was chilly at the beach yesterday! We had the beach to ourselves:)

Bojo finds Max then goes nuts!

Negotiating leashes while we leave the house walk for our walk/run. We normally don’t have so many dogs but can make exceptions for people going to funerals….

Our walks beside our house. Lovely to have room to run without too much effort :)

Coco the Miniature Dachshund playing with Dusty in the music room! Coco has certainly gained some confidence here.

Poppy and Bailey doing what cousins do! Play and chase. See how the dynamics change once Chutney says ‘stop it’ in doggie language. She was feeling that it was getting out of hand…. Next time you are at a park and watching dogs play, look at the dynamics that changes when a third dog comes into the mix. Doesn’t that remind you of people:)

Alphonso and Zoe having a tussle. They live together- does it show?!

Great day for a beach walk before we get a week of rain!

Our Story

What is a naked dog? We believe that a dog should be managed, ultimately, by voice and/or body language. A naked dog is a dog that you can trust. It knows its place in the world. He's our animal companion rather than merely a pet. We offer private training, group training, homestays, rehoming, and everything in between!
