About Melissa

My husband and I are respectful and trustworthy dog people : ). We have plenty of experience with timid, dog / human reactive, over excited, anxious and high energy bound dogs. Our experience ranges from all sizes and most breeds. Age ranges from 7 week pups, 6 month to 2 year adolescents, adults to seniors. Our belief is that every dog should live the joy of being rightfully accepted amongst their own species and always feel safe/stress free through our pack leadership and guidance. Being respectful and trustworthy towards humans is very important, which is something we work very hard on as current foster dog carers.

Exercise, rules and socialisation is what we live by with our dogs, with this we have been able to rehabilitate our foster dogs and get them all into good loving homes. We supervise all play and do plenty of physical pack activities (walking, jogs and bike rides). Proper socializing on how to interact with dogs, people and places is also important and something that we do. If you're looking for somewhere to let them just relax and be well looked after, by all means we have that covered also. We are hoping we can help anyone seeking that extra support for their dogs that might need it. You will be surprised what they are willing to show you once they are given the chance with some guidance and being around other balanced dogs.

Also to note our son has met over a 100 dogs in 12months with more then half having no interaction with babies before. No issues have occurred and we will be sure to teach your dog how to respectfully interact with babies / toddlers.

Services offered:

Dog boarding at our home - Up to 6.

Dog day care - Up to 6. Daily Dog exercising

- Walking (Local area or treadmill @ home [Will train your dog]) 60mins or Running (beside bike [Will train your dog]) 30mins. (One service per day unless required for both) Multiple times daily supervised dog play at home

- Ensuring we have a balanced environment with no bullying, no escalated playing (potential to turn into a altercation), respectful interactions and building trust within the pack we have at the time. Socialisation will usually be enough exercise per day, when added physical exercise becomes too much for the dog to enjoy themselves we are sure to rest them accordingly.

Time spent with dogs - We will be home with your dogs all the time. If one of us leave the house, one will be home to monitor and supervise. In the rare instance or emergency we both leave the house your pet will be secured in our yard alone or in a crate inside. We also have cameras to supervise trusted dogs that are well socialised outside while we are home.

If house trained / crate trained, we have no problems with your pet staying and sleeping inside. Otherwise bedding will be provided outdoors if needed. Yard is fully fence above 6ft. We also have a additional dog gate between our yard and side access. Helps with new interactions and added security.
