𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐃𝐨𝐠𝐬 2025!

What an incredible start to the year it’s been with our Adventure Dogs!

Each dog we’ve had the privilege of working with has brought their own unique personality, energy, and learning style to our adventure service, and we’ve loved tailoring each session to meet their individual needs.

Our Adventure Day Services cater to dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels, with training sessions designed to suit their goals. So far, we’ve covered:
🐾 Basic obedience like sit, down, stand, and recall
🐾 Building reliable recalls around distractions like other dogs, wildlife, and food
🐾 Adding obedience into play sessions to develop focus and engagement
🐾 Teaching position changes like sit-to-stand and down-to-sit
🐾 Loose lead walking to create calm, frustration-free walks
🐾 Working with dogs individually and in pairs for focused training
🐾 Encouraging positive social interactions with other dogs

While we’ve worked hard on training, we’ve also ensured every dog has plenty of time to just be a dog—exploring our large property, playing freely, and taking in the fresh air. On hot days, we’ve enjoyed some well-earned rest in front of the air conditioning after a full day of learning and fun.

Our Adventure Day Services truly have something for every dog. Whether your dog is in need of training, socialisation, or simply a fun, enriching day out, we’ve got it covered!

𝐊𝐲𝐥𝐨’𝐬 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞𝐬!

We recently caught up with Kylo and his dedicated owners for a follow-up session to work on his on-lead reactivity. It’s always inspiring to see their commitment to helping Kylo feel more confident and relaxed in challenging situations.

This time, we focused on exposing Kylo to other dogs from a distance, using our pack—Keetah, Cora, and Ralph—to provide a range of calm, controlled energy. We taught his owners how to capture and reward the behaviours we want to see from Kylo, while gently discouraging those we don’t.

A big part of the session was about communication—specifically, how the lead plays a crucial role. We showed Kylo’s owners the importance of loose lead walking and keeping tension off the lead to reduce frustration and encourage calmness. These small adjustments make a huge difference in building trust and reducing reactive responses.

Kylo’s progress has been wonderful to witness, but we know that changing deep-rooted behaviours takes time, repetition, and consistency in a variety of situations. With the tools and knowledge his owners now have, they’re well-equipped to continue this journey—and we’re here to support them every step of the way!

Keep up the fantastic work, team Kylo!

𝐃𝐨𝐠𝐬, 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞.

We recently escaped to the stunning Yorke Peninsula for a beachside camping trip with the dogs. It was magical, yet undeniably bittersweet. For the first time, Millie wasn’t there, and with Cora staying home due to being in season, the absence felt profound.

Millie spent 10 years teaching me the unparalleled beauty of travelling with dogs. From her first river camping trip at just 8 weeks old, she became my compass for adventure, showing me the freedom and calmness that comes from sharing nature’s rawness with a dog. There was an extraordinary peace in watching her nose connect to the earth, her body move with grace through water, and her spirit light up with pure, unfiltered happiness.

Those moments weren’t just about seeing her physically exhausted after a day of being immersed in the elements; they were about witnessing her soul fully alive—her entire being harmonising with the world around her. Her joy became mine, and it rooted deeply in me.

Now, as I watch my current dogs embrace that same freedom—running wild along the shore, digging trenches in the cool sand, and plunging into the ocean—I’m reminded of why I do what I do. This is what it means to have dogs, to truly live with them. Not confined by walls or yards, but out in the vastness of nature, where their bodies, minds, and spirits can unfold completely, as they were meant to.

This is what it means to be an EpicDog.

We train our dogs not just for obedience, but so they can experience life as it should be—adventurous, enriching, and untamed. Through our work, we want to help other dog owners build this connection, to give their dogs the clarity, freedom, and opportunities to thrive in ways that go far beyond the ordinary.

Because nothing compares to the feeling of seeing a dog fully in their element: joyous, curious, and alive. Sharing these adventures with them, whether it’s watching the tide lap at their paws or feeling the weight of their tired, sandy body resting beside you after a long day, is one of the greatest privileges of having a dog.

Here’s to the adventures still to come, inspired by Millie, embraced by those who walk beside us now, and cherished by the dogs of our future.

Vylas and his owner Taylor, recently had a follow-up home consultation with us! 🐾

From the moment we first met this pair after they adopted Vylas, we knew they were a great team. After their initial home consultation, they went on to enrol in our Basic Obedience class—and completely smashed their end-of-term assessment!

Taylor and Vylas have done an incredible job, but like any adolescent dog, Vylas sometimes lets his prey drive take over and starts acting like a bit of a cheeky delinquent. During the follow-up, we helped them tidy up a few behaviours and provided training techniques to navigate these moments effectively.

By working through these challenges now, Taylor and Vylas are setting themselves up for a future full of fun, adventure, and harmony. Watching their bond grow has been such a pleasure, and we’re so proud of how far they’ve come!

If you’re ready to take your dog’s training to the next level, email [email protected] to book a home consultation or enrol in one of our classes today.

Meet Kyra, a sweet older girl who recently joined us for a home consultation. 💛

Kyra had experienced a series of unfortunate encounters with off-lead dogs, which left her feeling stressed and reactive when she saw other dogs during walks. We worked closely with her and her owner to help turn things around.

Through counter-conditioning with our pack, we began changing Kyra’s emotional response to seeing other dogs, helping her feel calmer and more in control. We also taught her owner how to address her on-lead reactivity when it occurs, giving them the tools and confidence to guide her through these situations.

The key for Kyra was learning she has a choice. We first taught her the response we wanted her to have when she sees other dogs, and what the consequences are for responding negatively. Now, she gets to decide how to navigate these moments, giving her clarity, confidence, and a better sense of control.

We’re so proud of Kyra and her progress—it’s never too late for a dog to learn and grow!

If you need help with on-lead reactivity or any behavioural challenges, we’re here for you.

Meet Bernie & Winston, the Aussie Shepherd brothers we recently helped during a home consultation! 🐾

Their owners reached out to address a few challenges, including chasing the neighbour’s livestock, improving obedience and recall, and teaching them how to stay calm and switch off in the home. We also helped them learn how to address their jumping when the excitement of visitors gets the better of them.

These boys are full of energy and potential, and with the right guidance, they’re already on their way to being calmer, more focused, and happier companions.

If you’re looking to improve your dog’s quality of life and strengthen your bond, we’d love to help!

Lexi recently stayed with us for a week of Boarding! 🐾

When Lexi first arrived, she was unsure and scared around other dogs due to a lack of socialisation in her past. But after spending time with our crew—who range from a young, playful Springer Spaniel to a large, confident Belgian Malinois—Lexi found her feet and even started engaging in play!

We’re so proud of her progress and love being able to provide a safe, supportive environment where dogs can build their confidence and learn to feel comfortable around a variety of breeds, ages, and sizes.

Great work, Lexi—you’ve come so far in just one week! 💛

12/01/2025

Millie always had a way of knowing—an intuition so profound it felt as though her soul was entwined with mine. She didn’t just meet my needs; she anticipated them. She knew when I needed her head on my lap, when I needed a laugh, or even when I needed to learn patience as she barked endlessly at something only she could see. She taught me to navigate conflict with a gentle heart, retreating in moments of raised voices, showing me how to bring calm to the chaos.

Intuition connected us in a way that words never could. It’s the thread that binds souls together, a quiet knowing that defies logic. Over the years, I’ve tried to live by it—following the pull of my heart, trusting the whispers of my gut. Sometimes I let logic override it, only to later realise my intuition had known better all along. Millie was the embodiment of intuition, her every action a reflection of what I needed, even when I couldn’t see it myself.

In the days leading up to her passing, my intuition stirred again. The night before, Millie visited me in a dream. She told me she was ready. She wasn’t afraid. At first, I brushed it off as a subconscious reflection of my growing fears, but a few weeks earlier, an Aboriginal elder and healer—a woman deeply attuned to her own intuition—had told me something I couldn’t shake. She said Millie would let me know when it was time, in her own way, with a look I would never forget.

That morning, as Millie grew weaker, barely able to lift herself, she found the strength to do what she’d always done—she came looking for me. I was lying on the lounge room floor, doing my knee prehab, when she slowly made her way in. For 24 hours, she’d struggled to move, to eat, even to go outside. But this time was different.

She stood at the edge of the room, her eyes searching. I called her name softly, waving her over. She walked toward me, her steps heavy, her body fragile, but her gaze steady. As she came closer, she leaned over me, her eyes locking with mine in a way that made the world fall silent. It wasn’t just a look—it was the look. The one my healer friend had spoken of. The one that would say, “I’m ready.”

And then, in one graceful motion, she dropped into my arms. Every ounce of her weight pressed against me, not just physically but emotionally, as though she was giving herself to me completely, one last time. She curled into me, her breath laboured, her body still, and we lay there, just the two of us. It was the way she’d always done it—her as the baby spoon, me holding her as if the world outside didn’t exist. Only this time, neither of us was in a hurry to get up.

In the quiet moment, I captured a small part of what we shared on video—a reflection of the raw, unfiltered love that existed between us. There is so much pain in it, but also an undeniable beauty. These moments, as heartbreaking as they are, hold a sacred importance. They show us what it means to truly love and be loved, to hold space for both the grief and the gratitude.

Her body felt heavier than it ever had before, not from weight but from the gravity of the moment. It crushed my chest like a landslide, the kind that leaves you breathless, unable to move, under the sheer force of love and impending loss. Tears streamed down my face as I held her, knowing this was her final gift to me—a moment of pure connection, of quiet surrender, of goodbye.

My dream had become my reality. Millie was telling me, in the most beautiful and heartbreaking way, that she was ready to part ways. She knew I needed this moment, just as she had always known. In her final hours, she gave me everything she had left, and it was the most profound act of love I’ve ever experienced.

Intuition brought us together that day, as it had so many times before. It was the thread that tied our hearts, the unspoken language we shared, and the way she told me what my soul already knew: it was time.

It was the most beautiful, crushing moment of my life—a moment I’ll carry with me forever. My sweet girl, my intuitive guide, my heart. Millie, thank you for showing me what it means to truly love, to truly listen, and to trust in the connection that exists beyond words.

Your ashes rest here now,
a soft reminder of all you were.
Your body, like the earth, cannot be destroyed—
only transformed,
from fur and breath to dust and light.

But you are more than this,
more than what remains.
Your spirit soars beyond these walls,
unchanged, eternal, free,
existing now in the void—
the infinite stillness where all things begin and return.

You are in the wind that whispers my name,
the sunlight that warms my face,
the stars that guide me in the dark,
and the birdsong I hear each morning—
a gentle hymn of your love woven into the world.

Though your form is different now,
you are still here,
in the sky, the soil, the spaces we shared.
In every breath I take,
in every beat of my heart,
your soul is infinite,
your presence eternal.

Over the years, Millie and I covered a staggering amount of ground together, leaving behind pawprints and memories in some of the most breathtaking corners of this country. But these weren’t just trips—they were a way of life, a shared rhythm between us, where every kilometre deepened our connection and every moment became a piece of our story.

From the farthest reaches of Cape York to the windswept beaches of Esperance, we explored with hearts wide open. We didn’t just visit places; we became part of them. The rivers became our sanctuary, the beaches our playground, and the endless stretches of highway our classroom. Millie was always at my side—her presence steady and grounding as we faced the unknown together, one road at a time.

What made our travels so special wasn’t just the scenery or the destinations but the way Millie experienced them. She reminded me to be present, to feel the sand between my toes and appreciate the stillness of a sunset. She brought joy to every place we visited, turning an ordinary moment into something extraordinary just by being there.

We had it all—the van life, Airbnb stays, quick escapes, and grand adventures that spanned thousands of kilometres. Together, we tackled the long, straight roads of the Nullarbor, the winding trails of Margaret River, and the vibrant coastline of Queensland. Every journey, no matter how short or long, became a part of us.

Now, as I look at this map of all the places we’ve been, I see more than lines or routes—I see the life we built together. It’s a reminder that Millie wasn’t just my travel partner; she was my anchor, my guardian, and the one who turned every journey into a meaningful adventure.

Though she’s no longer here, I carry her spirit with me. It’s in the land we explored, the sunsets we watched, and the love that grew with every mile. She taught me that the best parts of life aren’t in the destinations but in the moments we share along the way.

This map tells the story of a dog who lived with her whole heart and taught me to do the same. I’ll forever cherish the memories of our adventures and the lessons she left behind. Millie, you were my greatest travel companion, and your spirit will guide me on every journey yet to come.

03/01/2025

Grief is a shadow that dances in the corners of the day,
slipping in through the quiet moments,
when the air feels too still,
when the weight of what was lost presses against your chest.
It sneaks up, soft as a whisper,
but its touch is thunderous—
a sudden rush, a wave crashing,
pulling you under, gasping for air.

In those moments, you are everything all at once—
raw, fractured, drowning in the swell of emotion.
And yet, as quickly as it comes,
it ebbs, retreating into the sea of your heart,
leaving room for a smile, a laugh,
a fleeting glimpse of light breaking through the storm.

But the laughter feels fragile,
tinged with guilt, as though happiness
is an act of betrayal against the pain
that still clings to the edges of your being.
How strange it is to feel joy
while sorrow watches from the shoreline,
always waiting, always near.

Grief is a tide that knows no rhythm,
its waves unrelenting and unpredictable.
Some arrive as a gentle lapping at your feet,
a bittersweet memory that brushes your soul.
Others rise like tsunamis,
unstoppable, consuming,
dragging you into the depths of despair.

And so, you find yourself caught in its cycle,
a prisoner of the push and pull.
But even as you are pulled under,
there is a quiet truth in its rhythm:
Grief is the measure of your love,
its waves shaped by the depth of your connection.
Though it may knock you down,
you learn, slowly, to breathe through the storm,
to ride the waves, and to trust
that even in its fiercest surges,
the tide will always recede.

01/01/2025

Yesterday, we guided Millie as she crossed the threshold from this life to the next, a sacred journey that felt as much a release as it did a reunion with the universe. We did it at home, surrounded by her family, in the warmth and safety of the place she loved most. Her passing was a reflection of her life—peaceful, filled with love, and profoundly beautiful.

Helping her transition was both the hardest and most profound act of love I have ever known—a moment where our souls intertwined one final time, and I could feel her spirit beginning to soar.

There is something deeply spiritual about being present in a dog’s final moments, about holding them as they let go of their earthly body and return to the boundless energy of creation. In Millie’s eyes, I saw no fear, only trust—trust in me, in the life we shared, and in the unseen forces calling her home. She had visited me in a dream the night before, to tell me it was her time. She was ready and unafraid.

As her breath grew softer, it was as though the world stood still. I felt her spirit lift, unshackled by pain or illness, and I imagined her running free, her joy unbounded, in a place where time and space no longer matter. In that moment, I understood that death is not an end but a transformation—a shedding of form so the soul can shine even brighter.

We lit a candle beside her as she lay on the bed, its gentle flame a symbol of the light she brought into all of our lives. We shared stories about her, laughing through our tears, remembering her quirks, her adventures, and the joy she gave us so freely. Even in her final hours, she found the strength to greet each family member who came to say goodbye, wagging her tail and reminding us of the indomitable spirit she carried to the very end.

Millie taught me so much about life, love, and connection, and in her passing, she reminded me that the bond we share doesn’t disappear. It changes shape, expands, and becomes something eternal. I feel her presence in the quiet moments on the couch, in the spaces we shared, in the warmth of the sun, and in the memories that flood my heart.

To help a dog pass is to give them the gift of peace, to honour the love they gave so freely, and to trust that they are being guided by something far greater than we can imagine. I know Millie is still with me, now as a light, a whisper, a gentle nudge from the cosmos. She has not left me; she has simply moved beyond the physical realm, and one day, when the time is right, I know we will find each other again.

Until then, I carry her in my heart, grateful for every moment we shared and for the sacred privilege of walking her to the edge of this life, knowing she would never walk alone.

About Aimee

The trainer behind the adventures.

Aimee has successfully trained and worked with dogs for close to 5 years. Her own adventure down the dog training rabbit hole, began shortly after she welcomed her first dog Millie (pictured), into her life almost 6 years ago.

Aimee's love and passion for dog training and behaviour continues to grow stronger, particularly after she had the opportunity to work closely with a large number of dogs, focusing on rehabilitating reactive, aggressive, anxious and resource guarding dogs.

Aimee thrives off of adventure and when she's not training dogs she's busy immersing herself in camping, 4WDing, motorbike riding, kayaking, swimming or exploring new terrain with her dog Millie. It is because of her close ties with both dogs and nature that EpicDog Adventures were created.
