02.01.2022 Yesterday saw our first, and possibly THE first, dog flown out to a client since COVID lockdown hit Victoria. Zola, this magnificent black Labrador, flew off to NSW yesterday under the watchful eye of Brooke, one of our Instructors. Initially matched in May, Zola is now finally working with her new handler for two weeks of training with Brooke. According to all reports, Zola handled the airport and flight like a true champion, and the in-person training with the client is progressing very smoothly.
