Mind Pro Animal Behaviour

29/12/2025

After more than 10 years working alongside so many of you and your dogs, I wanted to share an important update 💚

I’ve decided to close Mind Pro Animal Behaviour at the end of January, as I’ve been offered a full-time role with Dogwatch Sanctuary Trust, which I’m excited to start in early February.

This hasn’t been an easy decision. Mind Pro Animal Behaviour has been a huge and meaningful part of my life, and I’ve loved supporting both dogs and their people. Becoming a mum has shifted my needs, and a greater stability, less financial stress, and being part of a team feels right for this season of my life.

I’m really excited about this next chapter and continuing to use my behaviour knowledge to support dogs, people, and the wider community through Dogwatch ✨

I’ll continue working with clients and taking bookings until February.

Thank you to everyone who’s trusted me, supported my work, and been part of this journey. This isn’t the end of my work with dogs and their people — just a new chapter.

When 5-month-old puppy Katy was picked up roaming the streets of Christchurch, her owner was called. They said they didn’t want her.

This October marks a special milestone for me — 10 years since I started Mind Pro Animal Behaviour and 10 years of being involved with Dogwatch, where I’ve grown from a volunteer to a Dog Behaviour and Training Adviser. 🎉

To celebrate, I’m joining Dogwatch's donation campaign this month. For every donation they receive during October, I’ll be matching up to $1000 of my time for services like training, coaching, or walking for dogs and their owners in need. 🐕

Together with Dogwatch, we can continue to support dogs and their owners through education, care, and compassion. 🐶❤️

👉 Check out Dogwatch's post below for more details on how you can support their ongoing work, and feel free to share this with anyone who might be interested!

Every dog deserves a second chance, and with your support, we can make that happen.

By joining our Regular Giving programme you'll provide ongoing care to rescue and rehome dogs who need it most.

Your contribution will help us to:
🐶 Rescue dogs in need
💛 Rehabilitate them with the love and care they deserve
🏡 Rehome them in loving, forever families
🤝 Support dog owners in our community

As a regular giver, you'll receive updates showing the impact of your support and the dogs whose lives you’ve helped transform. 🐕💖

Every dollar makes a huge difference. Set up a donation that fits your budget—weekly, monthly, or at your pace. You’ll be part of an incredible community giving dogs a brighter future. 🌟
