TAKE the LEAD Training

Meet Our Three New Students!
Say hello to Diezl, a 5ish Boerboel, and two Neapolitan Mastiff puppies, Ox and Bongi! These three are actively working on becoming friends—it was a little messy at first, but with a supportive family committed to their progress, we’re making positive strides toward a happy and harmonious future.

Welcome to the TAKE the LEAD family, boys!

*Let’s take the lead together and help your doggos become the best versions of themselves!*

As a dog behaviorist, I truly have the best job in the world! Every day, I get to work with incredible pups, helping them learn new skills, gain confidence, and build stronger bonds with their families. Whether we're training, playing, or out for a walk, there's always time for a few cuddles and, of course, snapping a picture or two of these gorgeous doggos. Each dog has its own personality, and it's an absolute joy to watch them grow and shine!

Meet Spike, over socialised doggo that was dumped when he became too much to handle. He is safe and with Lucky Lucy Foundation getting the attention and structure to try and manage his stimulation.

🐾 Help Needed for INDI the Sweet GSD Mix! 🐾

This lovely German Shepherd mix, likely under a year old, was recently surrendered. Unvaccinated and unsterilized, she’s also had some major scares—like this week's hailstorm, which left her frightened in the kennels. I’ve brought her to my home to help her feel safe, but she needs a few essentials as she starts her new journey.

🎁 If you’d like to send a “gift,” here’s what would make a world of difference:

Donations to the The Village Vet Darling & Atlantis for her care:
The Village Vet - Nedbank Acc 1074 144 147 Branch code 198765 - Ref: Indi/Denae
Puppy food 🦴
A cozy bed 🛏️
Every bit helps her feel more secure as she waits for a loving forever home. Please message me for details on how to contribute. Thank you for supporting this sweet soul on her path to a new beginning!

🌱 Stay Teachable in Dog Training! 🌱

The world of dog behaviour and training is constantly evolving. With new science continually shaping our understanding, we discover better, more effective ways to communicate with our canine companions. What might have been considered "right" years ago is often outdated today. Being teachable means staying open, adaptive, and ready to learn new methods to best serve our dogs. 🐾 Let’s grow with the science and keep moving forward, always putting our pups’ well-being first!
Do better, be better!
