Once a dog day care (Doggy Daycare Farm Trips) for city dogs, it is now not only home to our own pack of 5 humans and 12 dogs (we foster fail A LOT), it's also a home away from home for our past day care dogs anytime they ever need, AND also a place of sanctuary and rehabilitation for rescue dogs who have been previously let down by humans. Luke (Dad) is a dog trainer and veteran, dogs have helped
Luke through his own struggles transitioning from the special forces to civilian life. Luke has a particular passion for helping rescue dogs who have struggled to get adopted or who find themselves on death row, due to no fault of their own, but could use some help with behavioural modification to give them that chance they so desperately deserve. The Farm is not just about training, it's a magical place where dogs can simply be dogs. We've got a ginormous dock diving sports pool for swimming, a big swimming dam, private bush land with walking tracks for bush walks, quad bike pack runs, camping and treasure hunts. Big open paddocks for running and lure coursing. And lots of space to free the mind, body and spirit. Each Wednesday a group of dogs from our past day care, travel up on our doggy bus to help us socialise and heal the rescue dogs. These very special dogs are highly social, highly responsive, purely positive and generally amazing dogs that are volunteering their day to give back to homeless dogs in need of some positive social experiences to learn how to dog best. Pack therapy is dogs helping dogs, and dogs that haven't had the social opportunities early life, learning from dogs that have had every early social opportunity with professional guidance. This page is for this next chapter at the farm. We are not a rescue organisation, all adoptions respectfully go through the rescues we work with. We are simply a family donating our dog facility and professional resources (trained staff) to do our bit for rescue.
