25.01.2022 How to relax on a Wednesday night in two simple steps: Step 1. Get comfortable Step 2. Watch some classical, slow-mo running, water loving pooches stampeding into the pool yard

24.01.2022 Q) Where can you find dogs this happy? A) Only House of Pawz of course

23.01.2022 Today's weather started off a bit dreary but our students definitely made up for the lack of sunshine with their bubbly personalities, their bouncy bodies and their joyful spirits. Today's classes consisted of ALL the zoomies, an abundance of water play and a lot of paw-fect poses. No one seemed to want to stop the fun today, not even for a nap, so after a short break in the air con our students were outside playing with all their classmates. ... Us Teachers here at HOP have had such a fun day today that we can't wait to see what HOP has in store for us tomorrow!

23.01.2022 Freaky Friday was such a blast that we think that we will all - teachers and students - need a long nap tonight. There were zoomies, chaseys, water play, tug-o-war, and so much more!! It was quite a hot day today so all the students got to enjoy a bit more time in the air con, but everyone had energy to burn, so back into the yards before pick up it was. ... We hope that our students have the best sleeps tonight and we can't wait to see what is in store for them next time we see them.

22.01.2022 It was early on a Thursday morning when HOP's students arose for their big day. They had been eager for the rush of chaseys, the war known as tug', the endless choices of balls; a whole day of fun! The abundance of swimming choices excited them all, which pool were they to go in? The shell, the circle, will they jump into the deep end? Eventually, Thursday's class exerted so much energy that they all got to nap in the airconditioning. Non-suprising to HOP Teachers,after resting their tired bones their students were back at it again before home time (what an energetic bunch).

21.01.2022 TIME FOR ROLL CALL! We hope you have missed watching our videos as much as we’ve missed making them for you! Can you spot your dog in this video? Don’t worry if you can’t because there’s many more videos coming your way!

20.01.2022 Just like every Wednesday today was loaded with cheeky smiles, energetic tumbles and loving cuddles. The pool was a hit, aswell as the shell pools, misters and we even had a few hose chasers. After a well deserved nap in the air-con our students were back in the yards for another tantalizing play before home time. Comment and tell us who you think performed the best jump into the pool!

20.01.2022 What a joy Marvelous Monday has been! Our students enjoyed their classmates company as they danced in the yards, zoomed for the fastest record speed, had a sneaky nap in the shell pools and chased the hose 'till the cows came home'. Due to the hot weather today everyone got extra pool time, giving the students (and staff) extra opportunity to splash around, dive for the ball or even just cool down in the pontoon. ... No doubt HOP's students have had a heck of a day with their besties and they can't wait to see them again next time!

19.01.2022 Say hello to the ravishing Rayn Holy heck, this girl is a cutie!! Her tiny body matched up with those big ears is just the best combination so ultimately she reeled us in with her adorable looks but sealed the deal with that personality that is larger than life (and her size) Those usual first day jitters didn’t last long at all for this girl, her confidence has no bounds and her excitement to try new things is what we love to see because that means no activity is ...off limits and that’s exactly what happened! It’s hard to say what her favourite HOP hobby is because she enjoyed every last one but we know one thing for sure and that’s her love for her new paw pals is strong. Angel and Arlo were her best buds and also happened to be the only ones that could keep up with the never ending energy ball otherwise known as Rayn She has stolen our hearts and our treats, she’s a girl with a whole lot of sass but can also be top of the class and no ones going to ‘Rayn’ on this girls parade It warms our heart to see how much she enjoyed her first day of school, we can’t wait to see that big smile (and those big ears) again!

18.01.2022 HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY PRINCE Last week we had to absolute pleasure of celebrating the birthday of one of our biggest characters in school! Prince is the life of the party so you know special day was a good one and probably one of the funniest pawties we’ve had This happy guy has only been with us for a couple of months but he has left an impression to last a life time; from his goofy walk to his sassy talk, he has never failed to put a smile on our faces One of Princes ...favourite things to do is play tug and when he wants you to join in he won’t give up until you give in and you better be ready to play all day because this chap has no ‘off switch’ when it’s tug time Prince deserved nothing less than a classy boy pawty with a suit and top hat to match, once he got a taste of his treats he was happy to gobble them down and share them with some of his best buds We hope you enjoyed your special day Princey Boy and we can’t wait to celebrate many more with you and your brother!

18.01.2022 Its Wednesday my dudes! Its been an immense day full amusement today! This morning started of with a bang when all the students arrived ready to go burn of some steam. We played chase with our best pals and even played a game of who could jump the highest with ball catching. Then it was pool time and man oh man do we love our pool sessions! Our little dog yard even got to play around with some rashes and they rocked the look! Afterwards it was time for a quick nap upstairs in the aircon. Not long after their nap was over it was back into those yards to play until it was pick up time.

16.01.2022 WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! We’ve been ordering in some House of Pawz sample merchandise and so far we are loving what we are seeing but now we want to hear from you! Would you rather human goodies or some HOP themed merch for your dogs instead? Think doggy backpacks, bandanas and bow ties - or human mugs, stubby coolers and pens! Which would you prefer to see?

16.01.2022 Welcoming the trio; Teddy, Nicki & Miley Boy do we have a mixed bag with these three, each of them enjoy different things from school and luckily we’ve got it all here for them! We will get started with the baby of the group, Teddy! She may be the youngest but she is the biggest and she certainly loves everything school has to offer, there wasn’t one activity that didn’t peak her interest. Teddy is one easy going, confident and enthusiastic gal and she loves sharing ...those good vibes with anyone she interacts with! Nicki is almost like Teddy’s little side kick, she really gains more confidence to join in on play time when her little (but big) sister gives her the encouragement she needs! Although she doesn’t need any confidence building when it’s pool time though, she is currently getting summer body ready while showing off her swimming skills at the same time! Lastly but most definitely not least we have Miley, the oldest and the wisest of the sisters! She is much more independent than her siblings and really enjoyed the simple things school has to offer like the never ending amount smells, the quality treats and a good ear rub before a snooze and cuddle with her sisters These ladies have really got us wanting more, we love seeing them relax and become more comfortable after each visit! It’s not often we welcome a family of three into our HOP school but when we do we feel so lucky to be a part of a family day out

15.01.2022 This is one big Biscuit! We want to give a warm welcome to the bubbly, bouncy and beautiful Biscuit! His time at school has been nothing short of amazing and he has made that many friends since first joining that we’ve now lost count. He has such an easy going attitude towards life and his eagerness to make pals comes effortlessly, especially when he starts his mornings off with some super zooms that no dog can refuse! While Biscuit loves to socialise with everyon...e no one quite compares to his best bud Theo, he has been taken under the wing of his fellow Bull Arab pal and officially been initiated into the Gentle Giant Gang (the school has a serious gang problem ). His relationships don’t stop there though, Biscuit is a fully certified ladies man and is already juggling two relationships with Jewel and Amara This gentleman has energy to last for days, enough goofy faces to last a lifetime and apparently a girlfriend for each day now Getting to know everything Biscuit has been a wonderful journey so far and we can’t wait to watch him to grow up into one dapper man and hopefully he’ll settle down with one lady

15.01.2022 ‘Ma’am please take my paw and stay calm, we have a heck load of HOP spam on the way!’ Maddie said it best We’ve been busy so strap yourselves in this weekend so we can get you up to date with everything that’s been going on, a weekend of nonstop HOP is coming at ya!

14.01.2022 Thrilling Thursday had every dog on their A game when it was time to chase, dive for, and catch the ball. This meant that no ball was left unattended. Tug-o-war, wrestling in the sand pit and diving into the pool were the next preferred activities the students chose to participate in. Followed by celebrating a birthday (Happy Birthday Cobalt!). Once everyone had recharged their batteries in the air-con, it was time to head back into the yards for more fun and games before be...ing picked up by mum and dad. See you all tomorrow for more adventures.

14.01.2022 Ahhh Thursday, another amazing day at HOP! The kids sploshed and splashed around in the pool, politely shared toys and treats, and even made a new friend (Welcome to HOP Truman). Some students showed off their athletic ability, while others preferred to show off their best side to the camera (miss model Lexie). Thanks for an awesome day Thursday class! ... See everyone bright and early tomorrow for more fun and games. See more

13.01.2022 Wow what a Wednesday that was! With Summer gaining on us, the students requested extra pool time to stay cool and refreshed. We even had staff joining in on the diving competitions- we'll let you be the judge of who was best there! haha! Next it was onto dress ups and a fashion parade, followed by some quality air-con and cuddle time upstairs. After everyone was well rested, it was back out into the yards for one last zoomie and wrestle until pick up time!

13.01.2022 HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY ZOWEE Our little (but big) lady has turned the big 3 and we threw her a girly bash to celebrate! Zowee has been one of our more independent pooches who has always been happy to explore and get cuddles on cue but when she gets the wind behind her you best believe that she is off and running and nothing can stop this gal from getting her zoomies out with her favourite friends Zo-Zo deserved nothing but the best on her special day and was eager to share it with some of her fellow, mellow pals! It was safe to say everyone was licking the cake off the plate and was eager for a quick play afterwards Nothing makes us happier than seeing our birthday dogs enjoy all the extra attention and Zowee sure was lapping it up so we hope she enjoyed her presents just as much!

12.01.2022 Tuesdays kids were were mad with excitement today! Straight to the yards the classmates went and zoomed around to their little hearts content! In the mornings the pups played fetch and it was the best cause everyone got to have a turn! Once the day got hotter, into the pool yard for a bit of a splash and cool down. There was a quick intermission in the aircon and then it was back into the yards for their final chasieys with their best pals before pick up. Comment who you think had the best jump in the pool.

12.01.2022 ‘Heckin hell Helen, you try catching when you’ve got thumbs for fingers!!’

12.01.2022 Well hello Wednesday! On today's agenda; WWE WRESTLING! The kids wrestled in the ball pit, the pool, the sand pit and even wrestled in their sleep. Next up was the pool diving competition (Congratulations Chile 1st place, Bally 2nd place, and Stevie 3rd place), followed by some much needed nap time in the aircon. The kids all enjoyed their afternoon by relaxing under the sprinklers and playing with the hose to keep nice and refreshed before going home with mum and dad. ... See you all tomorrow!

12.01.2022 HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY TO DUKE During our last few weeks of school we celebrated some special days and this was one of them! Dukey has joined the 1 club and he couldn’t be a more perfect fit for the club as he has copious amounts of energy to burn off and a huge love for making friends - especially if they are fellow puppers Sadly we’ve also had to say a big farewell to Mr. Duke and his big brother Prince this year and boy was it a hard goodbye, both brothers have been c...oming to our school for months and while they had different interests they were some of our top students! This made Dukeys birthday all the more special to our teachers as it was some well deserved quality time with the birthday boy and his friends at his super hero themed party! Dukes love for everything school is what we loved most about him, without fail he would walk through our doors raring to go and wouldn’t stop until home time so we are going to miss both brothers a whole bunch next year - they will have one heck of an adventure with their parents and we hope this isn’t the last we see of Prince & Duke!

12.01.2022 M is for monkeying around with their besties O is for over the top leaps for their fave ball N is for never a dull moment with our HOP kids D is for diving head first into the pool A is for always time for fun!... Y is for you better believe there will be some tired dogs tonight! See more

11.01.2022 Wednesday was no short of an eventful day with our students jumping and rolling around in the ball pit, wrestling with their besties and showing us how well they can share their toys. Everyone was keen for a splash in the water today, whether it be have a small dip in the shell/ bone pools or by taking a giant plunge in the pool yard. Not only did they give us their 'best' sides for their photos today, but they showed us just how well their training is going by doing some a...wesome group sit stays! Us teachers here at HOP know that our students will be snuggling up at home tonight, and dreaming of all the fun that went down today!

10.01.2022 Our face when Tuesday’s are officially opening!! HOP’s teachers are all up to date with their very important training meaning we will be open 5 days a week!

Get your school bags packed and collars on because we are opening our doors this Monday - we can’t wait to see you all and get this year started!

09.01.2022 Welcoming the marvellous Maggie The sweet girl is well used to the company of other dogs which made it easy for her to fit into the HOP family, her personality has shined through more and more after each visit and if there’s one thing Maggie loves the most it’s a good old cuddle with her teachers - if there’s a lap, there’s a cuddle Maggie has a whole lot of love to give and luckily for her she has a whole lot of new friends who enjoy every moment they spend with this... bubbly lady! She isn’t just a love bug though, Mags knows how to have a wrestle and zoom and while she enjoys a bit of rough play with the big kids she is now learning that gentle play can be just as fun with the help and guidance from her teachers and paw pals Her friends list keeps growing with every visit and she has officially befriended every dog in sight, which is easy to do when you look as cute as Maggie We have loved getting to know this bundle of sunshine so far and there isn’t an activity on offer that she doesn’t like, she is the first to be involved in everything and has that lab smile on her dial the entire time We can’t wait for more play time with Miss Maggie and to see who her next cuddling victim will be

09.01.2022 Most of us: ‘it’s almost Valentine’s Day already?!’ Yes it is! But we’ve got you sorted! Don’t have a gift for your other half? Grab something last minute in store! What if your dog is your ‘other half’? Don’t stress, that’s what we do best! ... Make sure you save the date and keep your eyes on our page to find out what’s in store for V-WEEK at HOP

09.01.2022 HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY TO CALLIE That’s right, another party! And this time it is for our sweet gal Callie who has always been the life of the pawty - this little lady has been coming along to school for some time now and loves her visits because it means a day of pool, play and pack time with her best pals Callie is a very colourful gal so she deserved nothing less than a bright party to match her personality but don’t get distracted by her wacky ways because she can... perform some impressive tricks as well, her best party trick being her place training which makes her one smart student! If she isn’t zipping around like a bullet we can bet our last dollar that she will be hanging out with every and any dog that feels like going on an adventure with her, she truely is a social butterfly! We feel so lucky to have been a part of her special day and hope she enjoyed her birthday bag just as much as her pawty! Here’s to celebrating many more birthdays with our girl Callie at HOP!

08.01.2022 What can we say about Talkative Thursday? Well, today our students gave us all belly laughs with just how rambunctious and endless their conversations were! They spoke about just how much they loved chilling in the paddle pools, kicking up the sand as they zoomed through the yards and taking part in cuddle/wrestles with their besties. Pool sessions today were jam packed with excitement and absolutely no one wanted to get out (not even the teachers)!... We had some voices today and we hope they tell you just how much they can't wait until they come back - because us teachers here at HOP can not wait for them to be back in class!! See more

07.01.2022 PART 4 The last series of photos of our Christmas theme week for 2020 and how good are they, well worth the wait!! We hope everyone had a safe and happy Christmas with their family, friends and furry companions too, enjoy the rest of the school holidays and we will see you all soon!

07.01.2022 Today started off with sunshine all around us, and when the sun hid behind the clouds casting a shadow over our yards, our Students stepped up and became their own vessels of light. No gloomy day ever stops our dogs from having fun! We had smiles and wagging tails all around while they got to play with their best pals and their fav toys. The pool yard was such a big hit that nobody wanted to leave, so naturally our Teachers extended pool time and to end the day off with a BANG our Students danced around in the ball pits and even had a bit of a snuggle with their teachers. Wednesday's dogs showed the sun who was boss and we know that today has made for some sleepy doggos.

04.01.2022 Funday Friday never disappoints and today was no different! Our students must have asked for an extra shot in their pupperchino on their way to school this morning as they were all full of beans from the moment they pulled their pawrents through the front door! After lots of fun and games out in the yard and splashes in the pool, it was time for snuggles in the aircon to cool down with their teachers. After a quick snack and a snooze, we all ventured back out into the yards f...or one last zoom with their friends before home time. We hope you all love looking through your pups day and have a great long weekend! We'll see you all next Tuesday!

04.01.2022 HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY KOVU We had the absolute pleasure of hosting a slumber pawty to celebrate Kovu’s very first birthday Ever since day one this handsome man has been the life of the yard, we can guarantee that Kovu will not stop playing until it’s home time and every single dog will go home having had a play with HOP’s social butterfly Being the socialite he is, it was only appropriate to have a jam packed party full of all his besties, they all devoured the cake within minutes and everyone left feeling satisfied and grateful to be a buddy of Kovu We hope you enjoyed your special day Kovu and you’re presents too, we know your mum would have spoiled you rotten so we sure hope you’ve been feeling the love!

03.01.2022 HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY MOLLY! Miss. Molly is a full time student coming 5 days a week so today seemed like any other day for Molly until she laid her eyes on the pawty our team put together for her So don’t let that serious face fool you because she was waiting as patiently as she could for the cake cutting and from there it was game on - Molly didn’t care who was in her way, party guest or not she was getting to that cake but who can blame her! It’s only been a short while since Molly first joined us but she doesn’t hold back and wants to show off her bouncy, bubbly and beautiful personality Because of Molly’s cake obsession she was soon in a food and play coma so we know that she enjoyed her very first birthday and to officially be a part of the wonderful ones club!

02.01.2022 What a week it has been and what a group of energetic, fun and enthusiastic students to finish it off! The day began off a bit cloudy but that meant it was nice and cool which made it so much more exciting to zip and zoom around the yards, we could never tell who the winner was as they were all so fast! when the sky cleared and the heat picked up it was definitely pool time, meaning there was a "splishin' and a splashin' " going all way round. after everyone had a quick nap i...n the air con they were back down in the yards again playing chaseys, tug-o-war and rolling around in the ball pits. Today's students completed the HOP week off on the highest of notes, showing us that the weather wasn't going to stop anyone.

01.01.2022 PART 3 Guess what, we are almost through the festive photos with one last instalment to come with part 4! Don’t forget to tag us on Instagram if you share any of our photos so we can feature your dog

It didn't matter where you looked there was action around every corner, our main yard was full of endless play all day even up to home time! Meanwhile our pool & little yards weren't too different, a smaller scale of wrestling could be spotted and some big (but little) zoomies were the go-to. Our students must be feeling as sleepy as our staff after such a huge day but you can bet we will be ready for another big day tomorrow!

01.01.2022 HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY COBALT! Our curly Cobalt has had one heck of a birthday bash and he deserved every last bite and decoration! This young boy has always been a model student and continues to be so with all of our new kids, showing them the most pawfect play styles and encouraging them to get involved! He has always been a social butterfly and it’s one of our favourite traits in Cobalt, apart from the fact that he gets top grades for his cuddles and has gained so much c...onfidence around all dogs! We could finally celebrate everything Cobalt yesterday with this colourful and tasty pawty, it’s been a minute since we had a Mexican theme so we were thrilled when we heard that Cobalt had requested the theme for his special day! We hope you enjoyed your day Cobstar, you deserved every last nibble, toy and cuddle! The whole team are grateful to have you in the HOP family and we can only hope there are many more pawties to come with our special curly boy

01.01.2022 Say hello to a sensible Steve What a chilled out boy we have on our hands and at just 8 months old he has an old soul for sure, he enjoys the simple things in life; a good place to sniff, a poop with a view, good treats and good friends to match, what more could a Dashy want in life? Steve has only been with us for a very short time now as he has officially been enrolled but anyone would think he has been coming here for years, he instantly clicked with everyone inclu...ding Diesel who (as we know) can be picky when it comes to pals but it speaks volumes on how easy going Steve is and his natural ability to make a friend out of anyone! Of course, he was soon recruited by Dashy leader Lexie becoming the newest member of the Sausage Gang and since then he has managed to get the attention of Lexie the leader and the two of them have been loved up ever since Steve is one heck of a guy with the sweetest nature and temperament, he is a social butterfly who loves sharing his toys and going on explorations with his new clique at school, making him a stop student already! We have been so lucky to welcome this handsome man into our family and we can’t wait to watch him grow up!
