🐾 Beautiful Scully is Still Looking for Her Forever Home 🐾
I'm genuinely surprised that gorgeous little Scully is still available!
Scully is a delightful 3.5-year-old Cavoodle weighing just 5 kg and currently living in Orange. She is vaccinated, desexed, microchipped, and ready to find the loving family she deserves.
Scully is currently staying with me at The Haven, and she fits in like a glove. She is a gentle, affectionate little soul who gets along beautifully with other friendly, calm dogs. We also recently discovered that she absolutely adores children, despite not having grown up around them.
Scully is looking for a very special forever home where she will be cherished, loved, and included as part of the family. She must be allowed to live as an inside dog, sharing daily life, companionship, and plenty of cuddles with her people. ❤️
This sweet girl has so much love to give and will make a wonderful companion for the right family.
Microchip #: 991003002148291
Please contact me privately if you would like to know more about this lovely girl.
Please share to help Scully find her perfect forever home. 🐾❤️

🐾 Private Dog Training Sessions 🐾

Every dog is different, and sometimes a group class isn't the best fit.

Private training sessions provide:

✔️ Individualised support tailored to your dog and family
✔️ Help with real-life challenges such as barking, pulling, reactivity, fear, anxiety, and recall
✔️ Training in your home, my training facility and/or everyday environments
✔️ Strategies that consider your dog's unique needs using the LEGS approach (Learning, Environment, Genetics & Self)
✔️ A calm learning environment with fewer distractions
✔️ Practical guidance to strengthen the bond between you and your dog

Whether you're raising a puppy, navigating behaviour challenges, or simply wanting a better connection with your dog, private training can help you achieve your goals.

🐕 Training tailored to your dog. Results that work for your family.

Medication can be very useful for behaviour change but a behaviour modification plan is vital as well...

The medication that you are looking for, that doesn't sedate your pet or change your pet's personality, but magically completely changes the part of their personality that is fearful, distressed and panicked doesn't exist.

I know we all want it to.

I know how exhausting it is to live with a pet who is struggling.

I know how badly you want relief for them and for you.

But here’s the truth:

Medication is support, not a cure.
It lowers the volume, but doesn't cure the underlying fear, anxiety and stress.

Medication is necessary for many pets to live in the scary world that we created, but medication cannot completely remove fear from your pet's life without any other actions on your part.

The best progress comes from the combination of:
👉The right medication (when needed)
👉Behavior modification
👉Avoidance through changes in the environment.

Treating systemic disease and illness.
👉Time, consistency, and follow-up

If your pet is on medication and the intensity, frequency and recovery are improving and they still have their same wonderful personality, you are on track most likely.

🚨 PARVO ALERT 🚨

We’re seeing an increase in cases of Canine Parvovirus (Parvo) in our area right now and it can be absolutely devastating, especially for puppies and unvaccinated dogs.

Parvo is highly contagious and spreads easily through contaminated environments (parks, footpaths, even your shoes).

Early signs to watch for include lethargy, loss of appetite, vomiting, severe diarrhoea (often bloody) and rapid dehydration. If your dog seems “just a bit off,” trust your gut as Parvo can escalate quickly.

The good news? It’s preventable. Keeping your dog up to date with vaccinations is the best protection you can give them.

Not sure if your dog is still protected? Titre testing is a simple blood test that checks your dog’s immunity levels to Parvo and other core diseases. It can be a great option for adult dogs to ensure they’re still covered without over-vaccinating.

If you’re unsure about your pet’s vaccination status, interested in titre testing, or notice any symptoms, contact us immediately as early treatment can save lives.

Please stay vigilant, especially with young pups, and help us stop the spread.

A break in the weather made for a quick walk with MB today. It’s important to keep up with your dog’s exercise routines as the weather gets colder. Time for beanies, thick socks and jackets for me. Waterproof coat for MB if it’s wet…Who else fitted a dog walk in today? 🐾🐶

A break in the weather today provided a great window for puppy training. Our focus was fun recall games (nose target, whiplash game and counting game), stationing and paws up. Lots of fun was had by all 👏🐾🐶

Welcome to The Haven new puppies Beryl and Ranni. Today, we covered how to use a marker and a release cue, handling, the name game and enrichment strategies. These two puppies took an instant like to each other and are firm friends already 🐾🐶

When Wicket met Nova… He thought she was lovely! We had a nice walk through Millthorpe together today. Sometimes a second dog can help to provide ‘support’ to a less confident dog in new environments. These two pups are now firm friends 🐾👏

Handsome Oakley visited The Haven today. Look at that Goldie smile! 🙂🐾
