About The Dog You Have
The pets we choose to share our lives with can sometimes be a dream come true and sometimes it doesn’t quite go according to plan...My name is Lisa and currently I have a Certificate in Companion Animal Care from Otago, a Diploma in Rescue Dog Rehabilitation and Cognition through Canine Principles, have run puppy preschool classes since April 2018, have experience in animal

welfare and veterinary environments, ran walking groups, completed a six month mentorship programme with Lewis Nicholls and Hannah Sadgrove, hands on experience with dogs in boarding, one on one, shelter and foster situations, hundreds of hours of research/theory plus ongoing studies with The School Of Canine Science and many more.

​I’ve been there through the good, the bad and the ugly and will continue to learn, always.

That's not where they were when I left the vehicle!

On a good note, he'd normally bark especially at other dogs or if someone gets too close to the car but not a squeak was heard...

Marley is not camera shy at all. But if he doesn't look at me then I can't see him...
