Photo dump time! 📸🐾

Yes, I know it’s been a little while since I’ve shared some of our amazing Puppy Preschool graduates, so here are just a few from the last couple of weeks across three incredible vet clinics!

Watching these pups (and their humans) grow in confidence, skills, and connection has been such a joy 🩵
Thank you to everyone who has trusted us to be part of your puppy journey!

Another Wonderful Class 👏

Today we celebrate International Women’s Day, and I want to take a moment to recognise some truly incredible women in the dog training and animal care industry here on the Central Coast.

This industry can be challenging, emotional, and incredibly rewarding, and I feel very lucky to work alongside women who are passionate about improving the lives of animals and the people who love them.

A special shout out to some amazing women doing wonderful work in our community:

Gail from Woofs and Wags – thank you for the care and dedication you bring to every dog and family you support.

Frankie from Dog Fit – your energy, knowledge and commitment to helping dogs move, train and thrive is inspiring.

Penny from Ocean Paws – the work you do helping dogs build confidence and skills is truly fantastic.

I also want to recognise the incredible women working in the veterinary field who support our pets every day. The teams at Erina Heights Vet Hospital & Beach & Bay Vet, are filled with hardworking, compassionate women who care deeply for the health and wellbeing of animals in our community and it has been a pleasure working alongside you all!

From trainers, to vets and nurses, to groomers, rescue workers and behaviorists — the work women do in the animal care industry makes a real difference every single day.

Thank you for everything you do.

Happy International Women’s Day.

Love Takes Two Training 🐾

“Muzzles Don’t Make Dogs Dangerous — Judgment Does."

Thank you to The Muzzle Movement for spreading this powerful message ❤

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EVX4KBPBJ/

When I first put a muzzle on Tolly, the hardest part wasn’t the muzzle. Far from it... the muzzle meant walks, freedom, safety. 🫶

What hurt was the judgement. The looks. The whispers that turned a kind, complex dog into something he never was: dangerous.

Of course, during my time in rescue I knew about muzzle stigma, but this was the first time I felt that stigma with my own dog.

The muzzle never made him dangerous. Judgement did.

That’s why The Muzzle Movement exists... (Tolly's legacy! 🌻) to challenge stigma, to protect dogs like him, and to remind guardians everywhere that choosing safety is never something to be ashamed of. 🤍

✨ A little update from me ✨

As many of you already know, I’m terrible at keeping up with my socials 😅 Over the past few months I’ve been slowly stepping back from private training and group classes to focus more on behavioural consulting through Erina Heights Vet Hospital.

I do want to apologise if my communication has seemed a bit lacking recently — it’s been a busy time of change. For now, I’ll be putting my energy into creating some educational programs and won’t be taking on any new private clients until further notice.

🌟 What’s staying the same:

I’ll still be running our much-loved puppy preschool classes 🐾

I’m always happy to chat via email if you need support or advice

📱 Please note: my business phone was lost, so email will now be my main form of communication. Apologies again if you’ve tried contacting me through the old number!

Thank you all for your patience and ongoing support 💛
