Woooohooooo... I love being in the KAD Kids Around Dogs family.

This course, just like the rest KAD offers means alot to me. I love the relationship my daughter Rose has with our doggies.
When it’s built on trust, safety, and understanding, it becomes so much more than just a friendship—it’s a chance for children to grow in ways that stay with them for life.

Dogs can bring out some of the very best qualities in kids:

Empathy – learning to read a dog’s body language teaches kids to be sensitive to others’ feelings.

Responsibility – even small tasks like filling a water bowl or helping with a walk foster a sense of care and ownership.

Confidence – overcoming fear, building trust, and learning how to interact with dogs safely can make children feel brave and empowered.

Calm and regulation – dogs often help children slow down, breathe, and be present.

Happiness – because laughter and wagging tails go hand-in-hand!

My goal is always to create an environment where children feel safe, informed, and in control when they’re around dogs, and vice versa because from that safety, something magical can grow. A lifelong love, a deep understanding of non-verbal communication, and a respect for all living beings.

If you know a child who feels nervous around dogs, or who wants to learn more about how to interact with them kindly and confidently do get in touch and lets get started on the journey.

These pretty little cuckoo flowers are growing in abundance in our new fields.
Has anyone heard the cuckoo yet?

This started with a thought which turned into a conversation which turned into a collaboration. An event that could change people's lives.
Pretty cool eh!

These guys went through Monday night. 2 bands through last night.. with one spot left to preform at Monmouth Carnival who will it go to!

The awesome thing about this event is there's no losers! They are all so talented, it's offered them exposure and chats with people who have been in the business for a very long time.. (not saying they're old, more like seasoned 🙈) .

Anyway.. one night left. At the Hitchcock Pavilion in Monmouth. Its on the bridge opposite the boys school.

Many dogs love to jump into ponds or splash in water after running around, and it’s easy to assume they’re cooling themselves down. But did you know that despite getting wet, their body temperature can still rise dangerously?

While water can feel refreshing, it doesn't actually stop heat buildup. If a dog is continuously running, playing, and getting excited, their muscles generate more heat than they can release—especially in warm weather. Even if they come out dripping wet, their core temperature may still be increasing, which can lead to heat exhaustion or even heat stroke.

Negative experiences last. Starting off on the right paw is essential for your puppy to establish a positive grooming experience.

Being handled by unfamiliar people in unfamiliar ways, the sounds and smells. The whole experience is novel. One that needs a special approach.
Awesome service team

First time visiting any groomers is so important to get right.

For a limited time we are making our puppy packs even better. A puppy's first visit to the groomers is key to get right. We will take our time to help your dog feel at ease with the grooming process. Starting with a nice bubbly bath, fluff dry and light trimming all at your dogs pace.

Its also a great way for them to socialise with other dogs scents in the salons with supervision of all dogs to keep everyone safe.

On collection you'll get one of our My First Haircut Certificates with a lock of their hair attached. And as a bonus you'll get a free birdie toy included. Helping to build positive associations for your dog.

Saturday's fun with Delboy and Rodney. Best names ever!! Rodney was a little nervous but warmed up in no time. Engaging that parasympathetic nervous system with all the sniffing and eating had alot to do with it 😍.

Today's The Great Easter Egg Rescue is for dogs who struggle with things in the world. Benji struggles with people and dogs. But as you can see his relationship with his human brother is extremely special.

So, they've gone and done it. In a fashion anyway.
Did they need to??
What's the point?
What's your thought's?
Personally I don't feel this needed to be done.
Will they grow up in captivity? Be released? What impacts on the environment will that have. 🤔
