Canine Know How Dog Training

🐾 Five stunning dogs joined us for our Loose Lead Walking Workshop last weekend, and what a fantastic afternoon it was!

We worked on building engagement, improving focus around distractions, and teaching both dogs and handlers the skills needed to make walks more enjoyable and less stressful. Every dog made great progress, and it was wonderful to see their confidence grow throughout the session.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and put in the hard work. Consistency is key, and I can't wait to hear how these teams continue to progress over the coming weeks.

Well done everyone – you should be incredibly proud of your pups! 🐕✨

You might recall Noki started physio a few months ago to help treat a recurring iliopsoas injury. Fast forward a few visits with the wonderful , including some laser treatments, keeping up with his physio exercises regularly, and a couple of acupuncture sessions with the awesome Kelly at … and this boy is absolutely over the moon to be back out in his favourite place with his best mates! 🐾💙

If your dog has any aches, pains, or injuries that keep cropping up, make sure you check out the amazing services we have available here in the region. Early intervention can make such a huge difference — and it’s often covered by pet insurance too! 🐶✨

🐾 Keeping Tamariki Safe Around Dogs 🐾

This is such an important topic and a fantastic initiative by Nelson City Council.

I feel incredibly honoured to be involved in a project that combines one of my many canine related passions—helping children and dogs build safe, positive relationships.

This week, Emily and I are delivering 10 separate presentations to classes at Nayland Primary School, following a wonderful visit to Nelson Central Kindergarten last week.

Teaching tamariki how to safely interact with dogs is one of the most valuable ways we can help prevent bites and create respectful, confident relationships between children and our canine companions.

This program is FREE for schools, kindergartens and community groups under Nelson City Council. 🐶💙👧👦

Do you remember Scruff, one of our foster puppies from last year? 🐾💙

I caught up with this handsome boy—now known as Chester—last week, and wow, what a transformation! 😍

It is incredibly heartwarming to see our foster puppies thrive and grow into such beautiful, happy adult dogs. Chester has truly blossomed into a stunning dog with the sweetest nature, and it is clear he absolutely landed on his feet with his forever family. 🏡✨

Watching these puppies go from uncertain beginnings to living their very best lives is something really special. 💕

How has this gorgeous boy not found his forever home yet?! 😍🐾

We’ve had the absolute pleasure of having Bear at puppy preschool over the past few weeks, and wow… what a superstar he is ⭐️

Bear is such a clever, adaptable pup. He loves a good wrestle with the bigger dogs, but is just as gentle and calm with the little ones — a rare and beautiful balance 💛

He’s also ticking all the boxes at home:
✔️ Toilet trained
✔️ Crate trained
✔️ Knows his basics
✔️ Listens beautifully, even with distractions

Honestly, he’s the total package and ready to slot right into a loving home 🏡

If you think you could be Bear’s perfect match, please get in touch with Animal Welfare Network NZ 🐶💕

Let’s find this special boy the home he deserves 🙌
