Due to some ongoing concerns raised over the use of Aniseed oil and its potential link to some bait lures, we have managed to find another suitable odour for our trail hunt clients..

We do hope that this resolves the concerns regarding the use of aniseed in trail hunt and brings more peace of mind to our clients regarding this sport..

Embrace Growth Not Perfection..

We all want perfection when it comes to our dogs and their training but we forget to Embrace the growth and count the wins along the way…

So this is your reminder to take a step back and look at how far you have come already, because every win you have gets you one step closer to your perfection.

Most importantly remember to be kind and patient with yourself and your dogs..

If you are feeling defeated and need some guidance to accomplishing more wins then drop me a message and I will be here to help you keep score 🙌🙌

🐾 Teens Club 🐾

Do you have an active adolescent running circles around you?

As your pup gets older they go through different learning and emotional phases, sometimes this comes out in unwanted behaviours… For us humans that can be really frustrating..

But you are not alone, pop us a message if you would like to join our 8 week class to get you through these challenges and build more resilience..

🌟 Meet Sam, Our New Trainer at Take The Lead Dog School! 🌟

I am thrilled to welcome Sam to the Take The Lead family! Sam has experience working with dogs and dog sports and brings loads of knowledge and passion to our team. 🐾

Sam is currently undergoing further training and combined we aim to be committed to making a positive impact to support tamariki in New Zealand who are navigating neurodivergence and mental health challenges.

Through the use of therapy dogs, we aim to create a safe and supportive environment for these children, helping them build confidence, calmness, and connection.

We are excited to work together to make a difference and can’t wait to see the incredible progress we’ll make with our therapy dog programs! 🐶💙

Sam has also been my saving grace over this past week after I broke my wrist and has taken everything including my work load and helping with my own dogs in her stride.. I couldn’t be more grateful 🥲 Thank you Sam 💕

Stay tuned for more updates and opportunities to join our programs!
