Are your visitors coming to see you or your dog.

Do the words from your visitors "i dont mind if your dog jumps make you cringe?."

As dog handlers, we want to have calm, friendly dogs who are respectful of guests.

We also I want guests who are respectful of the training we are doing with our dog/s and not be sabotures.

Set the rules with your friends regarding your dogs manners and your dog will see a confident leader.

🌟 WOW WOW WOW! 🌟

I’m sure I speak for everyone who attended our workshop this weekend when I say—it felt like being a kid getting the BEST present from Santa! 🎁🐾

Jo Bates and her amazing dog Mango from Crazy Canines absolutely blew us away with their knowledge and passion. We were in awe learning how powerful our dogs’ noses are and how to develop their scenting skills.

From beginners (like Maggie and me!) to novice, advanced, and even masters level—we learnt how to build strong foundations using food and pairing it with odour. The dogs progressed to identifying not just one but FOUR different scents! 👃🧠💥

Each search was just 1–4 minutes, 4–5 times a day, yet the dogs were mentally exhausted. That well-earned downtime said it all. You could walk for hours and still not wear them out like this!

✨ Jo’s teaching style is something special—clear, relatable, and so engaging. Even in a group setting, it felt like she was speaking directly to you.

💛 Thank you, Sue Keane, for suggesting we bring Jo to Albury.
💛 A massive thank you to Jo and Mango for making the trip—you showed us that teamwork makes the dream work.
💛 And to my dear friends (and next week’s holiday buddies!) Jenni & Tracy—thank you for being our superstar chefs and tireless worker bees. You gave up your weekend so I could be part of this, and I’m so grateful.

🙏 To everyone who travelled near and far to attend—THANK YOU for your support. We hope this is just the beginning of something really exciting for this area.

🚨 And YES—Jo will be back in 2026 for another awesome Nosework Workshop. Watch this space!
