And that’s a wrap ❤️
The ‘official’ last day of canine kindergarten!

I would like to thank all my wonderful clients for entrusting me with their beautiful doggos past and present over the last 16 years 🥰 I have loved them all as they were my own:) their funny antics that have made us laugh everyday-their love, companionship, warm loving hugs and kisses made our days so enjoyable.
To my WONDERFUL staff (past staff included) Rachel, Kayla, Erika and Demi-you have made kindy a safe space for all the wonderful dogs that come through each day. These girls are loving, kind, compassionate and so very skilled in what they do ❤️ kindy would not be as successful without them. They are my world as are all your dogs 🐶

Time to hand over the reins to . They too are everything kindy aspires to be.

We will all still be here to transition this new chapter….watch this space

Much love to you all-
Max ❤️❤️❤️

Hello! We have some exciting news! 🥳🥳

To our wonderful Canine Kindergarten clients,

As some of you may already know, but for those who aren't yet aware...

the Love of Dogs Academy is taking over Canine Kindergarten!

The amazing Maxine and her team will continue running things, so for at least the first 3 months, everything will stay the same (apart from a little rebranding).

Over the next 6 months, we’ll be making a few gentle changes to the space—adding smaller areas and a separate entrance to keep the kindy calm and comfy.

These spaces will also be used by our participants living with disabilities, alongside dogs who enjoy their company.

Rest assured, daycare services will continue uninterrupted, and the Canine Kindergarten team will carefully manage the daily doggo arrangements.

Got questions?

We’d love to hear from you—just shoot us an email!

For the Love of Dogs Academy offers NDIS-supported programs for social connection, education, and career pathways in animal care. Coming soon: animal care services that support our mission!
