Happiest 7th birthday to our bright, bubbly and super vocal Lexi May 🫶🏻

(Nat’s actual favourite)

So I’ve been really terrible with posting this year for 2 reasons; 1 my health - 6 months after I fell off my horse, fractured my spine and ruptured my pelvis my work ability was limited. 2 my health - this year has been very difficult with continuous endometriosis flare ups which are medicated by super expensive pills, pain killers and multiple specialist and doctors appointments. 💸

I’m not going to sit here and say I’m struggling, however, it’s been a tough year financially and physically as I navigate through this health experience, being a single Mum, running a business and trying to get my ducks in a row for horse events.

Recently I opened the books to the public and WOW!!!! Thank you, to the people who shared the post, who spread my name far and wide and most of all to the most loyal, supportive and understanding clients that I’ve been honest with up front. I’m in good spirits but my body is battling silent issues that you can’t physically see.

We’re sooooo on track this last month and very close to closing books.

A huge appreciation to those who made this possible 🫶🏻

Ps here’s a few dogs we’ve graduated, shared birthdays with, continue to help and socialise ✨

Lots of pats,

✨OUR BOOKS ARE OPEN✨

We have limited availability for the remainder of April & May. If you’d like to book your dog in please message Natalee directly on 0402069706

What we do 👇👇👇

We’re not regular trainers here. We are Dubbo’s exclusive dog training and behavioural specialist. We are here to help you. To educate and conserve different and mixed breed traits. We work with the dogs normal trainers refuse to have in their classes. We use a multi-dimensional approach with working with your dog. Exploring factors such as the home life, socialisation, previous training and experiences. We hold no bias, we’re here to intervene with dogs who are displaying negative behaviours ranging from aggression to timidness to hyperactivity. We also offer obedience training where we teach a number of awesome skills to your dog!

These can include the following:
- Simple commands sit, down, stop, wait, this way
- Road safety training
- Car loading training
- Gate training
- High Stimulation training
- Crisis training

We work, in conjunction with you, to help your dog establish a level of securement in the home and in new environments that enables a stress-free relationship. We create trust, break-down barriers, expose your dog to controlled situations that will push them out of their comfort zone and we will correct unwanted behaviours.

❌WE DO NOT OFFER PUPPY TRAINING PROGRAMS❌

Health update ✨

Chiro and GP are impressed with how well I’m healing, I’m no longer in need of round the clock help with basic tasks and I can drive! Soooo if you’re behind me in the car don’t be surprised if I take corners and roundabouts verrrrrrry slow.

Got to take the dogs for their first outing in 13 days and have a short walk, it was unreal to be out in nature. 🥰

Hope you’re all keeping safe and I can’t wait to see all your dogs!!!

Also Uncle Reg is taking good care of me🐾

(If you didn’t know what happened; I had a bad horse riding accident and fractured my lower spine + deep soft tissue to the pelvis)

Hello everyone,

Hope you’re all keeping hydrated and wearing sunscreen 🌞

I’ve had a pretty bad horse riding accident at full speed and ended up in hospital, fortunately no broken bones but I’ve jarred my back up pretty severely and unable to move unassisted. Hurts when I laugh, move, cry or cough.

During this time I will not be responding to messages, emails or phone calls and will update you as soon as I’m back on my feet.

Lots of pats
Nat 💐
