25.01.2022 Our intermediate class class night working on their static exercises (naughty me forgot photos during the beginners class).

22.01.2022 Was almost an all ladies night in our graduation classes for our pre-puppy and puppy classes tonight. Despite the added pressure to the night of the warm weather, we worked our way through with cool off sessions in the splash pool, but still enough energy for some feisty musical towels competitions. A big congratulations to each of our students, both the humans and four legged variety! You’ve ticked off the requirements for your respective classes and now have your homewo...rk for the summer. I’ve loved watching you each grown and develop through your classes and look forward to seeing you again in the new year

17.01.2022 A big congratulations to our Pre-Puppy class tonight on their graduations (Class photos to follow )

15.01.2022 HERE’S WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO ADD FRESH HUMAN FOOD TO YOUR PET’S KIBBLE Today, ninety-six percent of pet owners around the globe are feeding dry commercial... pet foods. Of those 96%, there is a large majority that believes dried commercial pet food is really all their pet needs and would never stop to consider the benefits of adding fresh human food. (Human food definition in this article: clean sources of meat-based proteins and some organic plant matter, not beer and nachos ) There are many reasons why some of these pet parents feel this way, however the most popular reason today seems to be the 50-year-old rumor that is in existence and still spreading. You know the one: Giving your animal table scraps is bad! How or when did this terrible rumor start? Well, if we go back in time, research shows that shortly after the invention of processed pet foods, manufacturers were having a hard time convincing pet parents to make the switch from foods in their refrigerators to their commercial pet foods. So in 1964, the pet food industry, along with the PFI, joined together with a whole bunch of marketing dollars and launched one of the most influential campaigns the pet world had ever seen: the Ban All Table Scraps from your Pets’ Bowls campaign! Through thousands of newspapers, magazines, and news stations, the public was warned about the dangers of table food scraps or human food and the importance of feeding processed commercial pet food. From there, the giant smear campaign took off! Not only did this clever campaign work, but it was so impactful that now, 50 years later, folks are still in fear of offering anything that is not labeled pet food. SO IS IT A GOOD THING TO ONLY OFFER YOUR PET DRIED KIBBLE? Not according to ongoing research it isn’t, especially with today’s cancer rates being 1 in 2 dogs! In a 2005 study conducted at Purdue University on Scottish Terriers, the results showed that adding fresh vegetables to dry commercial kibble actually prevented and/or slowed down the development of transitional cell carcinoma (aka bladder cancer)! In the study, dogs ate a diet of dry commercial pet food, while some got an assortment of vegetables added to the mix at least 3 times per week. When the study was concluded, according to the researchers, they weren’t really shocked by the results. Here’s what they found: Dogs that ate any green leafy vegetables, like broccoli, had reduced the risk of developing bladder cancer by 90% and the dogs that consumed any yellow orange vegetables like carrots reduced the risk by 70%! Seriously! A lousy carrot helped smash the potential of cancer. ( http://ilarjournal.oxfordjournals.org/content/55/1/100.full ) (Raghavan, Knapp, Bonney, 2005) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/16013542/ Yes, of course cats are obligate carnivores (must have meat to survive) and our dogs are facultative carnivores (carnivores with omnivorous potential if circumstances demand) so offering clean meat-based protein sources should always be top priority and essential. However, because today’s world is ever-so changing due to factory farmed livestock being fed genetically modified grains and our planet being contaminated with every type of pesticide, fungicide and larvicide, the importance of fresh, organic plant matter to help detox the body couldn’t be more crucial. So if the cancer reducing benefit doesn’t tickle your fancy enough to convince you to add any human fresh foods to your pet’s bowl, then maybe think of it this way: How bad would it suck if someone forced you to eat dry processed foods your whole lIfe?! By: Rodney Habib "An educated, informed and well-researched community of pet owners can only put more pressure on the pet food industry to be better! When pet owners know better, they will only do better!"

09.01.2022 Last night saw our last classes for 2020, where our Beginners class underwent their final assessment, with all four attendees (after some treat swapping) passed their class, congratulations!!! Our intermediates that could make it to class had a night of games and fun with prizes, including a grand prize of a snuffle mat, won by Bianca and Flossy after a run down for the prize after ending in a draw against Darren and Jasper. (The fun photos and videos to come!)... For our puppy and beginners students that couldn’t make it to your graduations, we will run a secondary assessment in the new year before classes start again.
