Hi everyone
Please have a look at our training challenge- we’re doing it to raise funds for a colleague of ours whose young dog has been diagnosed with cancer- although she has pet medical insurance- that won’t cover all her costs- it’s something easy that we all can do with our pups - whatever age they are - if you’re interested please email us your details at [email protected] and we’ll add you to our challenge WhatsApp group 🙌🙏🎉
Spring is definitely going to Spring soon we hope!

Doghub lately...
It's been a brutal winter, But we're almost through the worst of it!
Thank goodness our clients have been so open to online learning, one positive product of the COVID "ERA".
There are subtle inklings of Spring, the puppies are arriving in droves and everyone is generally in a slightly better mood! (because, um, PUPPIES!
It's always a bittersweet time of year for us because Spring means we have 10 more weeks of training left before we close for the holidays!
Enrollments for October are open!
Find us at www.doghubsa.com for more on who we are and what we do!

UPDATE: DICE HAS BEEN FOUND!!
🎉💕
DogHub community, please keep your eyes open for Dice. He got lost on a Hike at Rhodes Memorial, and his family are desperate to find him!
Please share to your southern suburbs community pages and lets network as far as we can to make sure he makes it home safely.
He's only a baby and must be very confused right now.

Why Become a Supporter of Friends of the Dog Walkers (FDW)?
Friends of the Dog Walkers (FDW) was first formed after the majority of the Cape Peninsula's mountains and beaches traditionally used for recreation by local communities was handed over to SANParks and Table Mountain National Park was formed. Despite the traditional access to dog walkers to the majority of the mountains and beaches and the official slogan of the park "A Park for All Forever", the new management sought to exclude dogs from 90% of the park. In response FDW was formed and raised the support of thousands of dog walkers in order to negotiate with the park management to retain the rights of walkers with dogs. An environmental management plan for walking with dogs was developed and a code of conduct was agreed upon by both management and FDW. FDW has since been involved in the revisions of the EMP and in making representations to the City on behalf of dog walkers over issues such as access to City managed green belts, parks and beaches.
As more pressure is placed on our recreational areas in Cape Town, people walking with dogs need to be heard in order to ensure that we continue to have access to natural areas for our dogs to enjoy recreation with us. The dog walking public also needs to be educated so that we can ensure responsible behaviour keeps us in favour with other members of the public and the authorities.
🐾Please like our page and follow us for updates and more information on how to support us in our continued efforts.🐾
Did you know?
The current EMP for dog walking contains a very sensible and fair code of conduct for dog walkers in TMNP. While this code of conduct is supposed to be handed out to every person purchasing an activity permit for walking dogs in the park, this does not happen and most people are unfortunately not aware of the code of conduct which can lead to problems.
According to the EMP and code of conduct:
• Dog handlers must always carry a leash.
Dogs must be leashed:
- While passing through designated parking areas, picnic areas and braai sites.
- If the handler is unable to control the dog or if it is aggressive or otherwise dangerous.
• Dog handlers must remain on Park approved paths and tracks at all times, unless in the event of an emergency
• Dog handlers must remove their dog’s f***s from paths, car parks and any other demarcated areas used by park visitors and/or Park staff.
• No more than two dogs per person may be taken into the Park (unless the handler has obtained a special permit from the Park).
• When meeting a leashed dog, the handler of the unleashed dog should provide space for both dogs to pass without contact.
• Dog handlers should give right of way to people unaccompanied by dogs.
• Dogs should be called to heel if the handlers see approaching walkers, joggers or horse riders.
• Dogs should be leashed at the beginning and
end of walks.
These are just some of the points in the code of conduct - for the full code please see the link in the below:

This adult male st Bernard was picked up in a field near sir lowry's pass. (somerset west) He was wearing a harness apparently and was taken to animal welfare (Helderberg). I just can't believe that his owners haven't managed to find him and so he was either dumped, or stolen from another area maybe? But then again if he was chipped I'm sure his family would have been found.
I'm posting through this network because surely somebody is looking for him?!
He's apparently a lovely dog although I've not met him.
This breed is not common so to pick one up randomly is just too bizarre.
Please share far and wide!
It’s forecast to be an absolute scorcher tomorrow- be sensible & keep your dogs cool and hydrated 🙌
