FOOD FOR THOUGH FRIDAY 🤔 💭
Should pet insurance be more like car insurance?

What I mean is, should someone else’s pet insurance cover YOUR dog, if their dog attacks yours?

Me personally, I think so!

If someone runs into your car, it’s their comprehensive insurance that covers the costs of repairs, and rightfully so.

I would love to see the same in the pet industry. I think some level of cover should be mandatory, just like it is for cars.

This would mean 2 things:
1. Your dog would be covered if they have a serious injury or illness that you couldn’t normally afford to pay for

2. Other dogs in the community have their medical expenses covered if they’re attacked by another dog

It’s a win win.

Anyway, it’s just something that popped into my head. I receive messages everyday from people whose dog was attacked by another dog, and 9/10 times, it’s them that’s out of pocket for vet bills when they weren’t in the wrong.

Pro Pups Academy SEPTEMBER 🐶 🎓 (second last intake for 2025)

If you’re looking for a puppy school with a difference, THIS IS IT 😇

Instead of 4 weeks, we train for 10!

Instead of high fives, we teach REAL training!

Instead of training at a vet or pet store where sick dogs visit, we train at sterile facilities!

Here’s a bit about our program 👇🏼

We train for 5 weeks at our facilities until the pups are fully vaccinated. For weeks 6-10 weeks we train out in the real world 🌍 at places like the beach 🏝️ park 🌲 cafe ☕️ shopping centre 🛍️

We don’t teach things like high-fives and roll over 🙃 but instead we teach:
- loose lead walking 🎣
- parking 🅿️
- recall 🪃
- noise desensitisation ⛈️ 🎇 🚨 🚜 🏍️
- how to behave at the vet & groomer 👩🏾‍⚕️
- we discuss home behaviour each week 🧠
& SO MUCH MORE!

This really is the most comprehensive puppy school on the Gold Coast. So, if you’re wanting a puppy school with a difference, THIS IS IT 👆🏼

Here’s 5 things I do with my dog everyday (and you should do)

1. Spending time actually just connecting, cuddling and spending time together. No phones, no toys, just being together. Some dogs need this more than others, but they all do in some capacity

2. Spending time exploring and away from structure. Nelson is a working line of a working breed and therefore lives with a lot of structure. But we also give him plenty of time to just do his thing and have the agency to make his own decisions. This is so important as a part of biological fulfilment, and is one of the biggest reasons you should train your dog.

3. Enrichment time. Some time along to do this thing. I have self development books and Gossip Girl, Nelson has Kongs and lamb necks. Both are things that help us down regulate and enjoy our alone time. Your dog needs it just as much as you do.

4. Breed specific fulfilment. If you’re on of our clients or podcast listeners, you’ll know how important this is as well as how to do it. Nelson’s a Rottweiler, Rottweilers love to and will bite. We give him plenty of constructive options to bite everyday so that he doesn’t get pent up and make poor choices.

5. Alone time in a crate. Working breeds, through selective breeding, generally have strong work ethics and just like us (me 💁🏼‍♂️) can be workaholics. Sometimes you need to make them rest, or they simply won’t. A baby needs to be put down for a sleep, and so does your dog.

Anything you’d add? Which of these aren’t you doing?

📣📣PSA: 1:1 AVAILABILITY UDPATE📣📣

Due to Max being in paternity leave, our trainer Seb’s 1:1 schedule is filling fast. Depending on your location, August is now FULL. Because of this, September spaces are also beginning to fill quickly, with all
Saturdays almost full and the first half of Septembers weekdays fully booked.

Seb’s schedule is servicing South GC on Tuesdays and Fridays. North GC on Wednesdays and both areas on Saturdays.

We are doing our best to fit everyone in as soon as possible, but it’s just not possible at this current time
with only 1 trainer. We thank you for your patience and understanding, and appreciate your support.

Feel free to reach out to use via email or DM if you have any further questions in regard to this📧

Thank you,
DUDT Team 🐾
