I’m really excited to share that my Summer Agility Kickstart Class is starting soon 🌿

Classes take place in a private two-acre field in Meanus, so you’ve got plenty of space to work comfortably.

Class sizes are kept small to make sure each dog has the time, space, and support they need. While sessions are carefully managed, your dog does need to be generally comfortable being around other dogs and people in an outdoor setting.

If you’re unsure whether this would suit your dog, you’re always very welcome to message me, I’m happy to chat it through with you.

This class isn’t about putting dogs on equipment and hoping for the best.

We break everything down into skills so your dog can actually understand what they’re doing and feel confident doing it.

We’ll be working on things like:
✨ Confidence around new environments and equipment

🎯 Engagement (choosing to interact with you, even when other things are going on)

🐾 Recall, stays, and real-life focus skills

🧠 Problem solving through shaping and games

🎢 Settling and learning how to switch excitement and calm

A lot of these skills carry over into everyday life, not just agility - so even if you’re not aiming to compete, it can make a big difference to your dog’s behaviour in other areas of life.

We’ll also be mindful of your dog’s physical wellbeing, including warm-ups, appropriate exercise and supporting overall fitness and weight management in a safe way.

At its core, this is about giving your dog a positive, enriching experience while building something really fun for both of you to enjoy together.

I’d love to see you there!

This is an update I wish I never had to make.

Sadly, on Easter Sunday, we had to say goodbye to Bowie.

On Saturday evening life seemed completely normal. Bowie ate his dinner with his usual enthusiasm, lounged in front of the fire and ran up the stairs and hopped into bed at night. Two and a half hours later I woke up to him having a seizure in bed next to me. Unfortunately, he didn’t make it and it’s suspected he had a brain tumour. This was completely unexpected.

Bowie was intertwined in every aspect of my life both professional and personal. He was present in my routines, my lifestyle, my identity, my plans for the future - a shared future I thought we had.

He was 11 but I still expected we had a few years left.

I would like to honour who he was, but I think I will save that for another post. Being able to represent his character in an IG post right now just feels like too great a feat.

I know some people will think “he’s just a dog” and the grief is not taken very seriously. On the other hand I know there are people who will read this and understand how truly painful this is.

I will miss my Bowie forever.

I would appreciate patience from people with regards to response times to messages and enquiries as I adjust to this new reality. And to all the clients I contacted this week about rescheduling, thank you so much for being so understanding ❤️

Don’t end up giving your vet extra work over the Easter weekend… or burning through your wallet 😅

A little management goes a long way — chocolate is for humans, not dogs.

Have a safe and happy Easter 🐣🐾

✨ We’ll cover:
• Confidence through sensory exploration & enrichment
• Focus, curiosity & problem-solving
• Body awareness, balanced activity & rest
• Exposure to people and dogs
• Core life skills like leash walking, engagement & recall

📍 Meanus Community Centre
