About The Dog You Have
The pets we choose to share our lives with can sometimes be a dream come true and sometimes it doesn’t quite go according to plan...My name is Lisa and currently I have a Certificate in Companion Animal Care from Otago, a Diploma in Rescue Dog Rehabilitation and Cognition through Canine Principles, have run puppy preschool classes since April 2018, have experience in animal

welfare and veterinary environments, ran walking groups, completed a six month mentorship programme with Lewis Nicholls and Hannah Sadgrove, hands on experience with dogs in boarding, one on one, shelter and foster situations, hundreds of hours of research/theory plus ongoing studies with The School Of Canine Science and many more.

​I’ve been there through the good, the bad and the ugly and will continue to learn, always.

Ideally they won't sink in the river...

Squeakers are optional (but they don't last.)

Lovely day for a walk with two of her best buddies! She did ok-ish with the other dogs once she had settled, gets overwhelmed easily at the beginning but once we're on the move it gets easier.

Thanks to Bandana Dogs Picton for arranging another safe on lead dog walk!

Happy mother's day!

We started with first breakfast, then a visit to Bunnings (early so not too much going on) lucky they let us take dogs in - it's also a great place to practice left & right turns.

Thank you to the lovely people for giving Jippy a cuddle x
