🐾 Elcho’s Glow-Up 🐾

This beautiful bouncy boy has truly come such a long way, and I couldn’t be prouder of him (and his amazing human)! 💪🏽

When we first started, Elcho was adjusting to a whole new life on the Northern Beaches after a slower-paced lifestyle with more space. He was bursting with energy and lacked confidence in busy environments. His human felt a little nervous about taking him to new places, worried about whether he’d listen.

Fast forward to today, and look at them now!

🌱 Elcho is learning to chill - just look at him settling like a pro at the Diggers!

🌱 His confidence has grown so much - he’s strolling through pet shops like a champ

🌱 And his human? She’s calm, prepared, and confident, with all the tools she needs to tackle any situation

Here’s what Elcho’s human had to say:
“He’s making small steady steps which makes all the difference really!! I have a lot less anxiety and so does he. We have more options on where we can go together as we are building a lot more trust!”

This dedicated duo has put in the work, and it’s paid off in the best way ✨ Elcho still has that cheeky spark (and we wouldn’t want it any other way!), but the transformation is absolutely incredible.

📚🐾 Expanding Horizons for Happy, Healthy Dogs! 🐾📚

Last year, my ongoing education took an unexpected yet deeply rewarding turn. As many of you know, my dog Gully needed surgery in 2023, which opened my eyes to the incredible world of canine fitness, conditioning, and rehabilitation 🐶💪🏼

What started as a way to help Gully sparked a passion that led me to dive deeper into this field. I’m proud to share that last year I completed not one, not two, but THREE incredible courses to expand my skills and knowledge.

🎓 Canine Conditioning Fitness Coach
🎓 Certificate in Canine Fitness
🎓 Certificate in Canine Massage

These tools not only helped Gully on his journey to recovery but are now part of how I can help your dogs thrive too!

Here’s to keeping our dogs fit, healthy, and living their best lives 🐾
