Ari out at vital vet in Ellenbrook has whippets and is also an amazing vet

Wanneroo vet is a little bit far but the vets there are AMAZING I now know a lot of people using them on my recommendation

That's really cute! Is that a cat watching or your shadow hahaha

What about Lexi for the last girl?

Felony <3 what a gorgeous pup! Although all of them are

Canine country club was sold last year I'm pretty sure, So don't know how the new owners are?

I would strongly suggest a pet sitter or going south of the river for boarding. I have not heard good things about any of the kennels north and the one which did have a good reputation was recently sold.

Billy's dog daycare in Belmont or wangara is good

Hope everyone in wa thread is doing well :)

J at least at the Xolo national Mak and I would have less questions to answer and wouldn't have to say xoloitzcuintle a million times ahha :p

Vet nurse run pps is where a lot of my dogs issues started. If a qualified trainer had seen them they would have red flagged her and insisted she had more training and not just put her in the naughty corner. I was 15 or 16 at the time and knew no better. If vet nurses want to take puppy classes they should have a qualification still for it, puppy is the most vital stage of socialisation. I'd rather a puppy not attend puppy classes than attend with some of the ones I've seen run by nurses. I say some, some nurses have an idea but alot don't about dog behaviour and the actual interactions between puppies. My 10 week old ACD got barked and barked in the face by a dobe puppy that belonged to her friend until she couldn't take it anymore and went the other puppy with aggression I didn't know a puppy could have. Up Until then she just sat there and tried to ignore It. i hate to think whar the Dobe is like now since it looked like it was headed to be a train wreck. She's now 4 and still to this day will not go near a dobe and is severely dog reactive and aggressive. I've seen way more pups ruined by bad pps than I've seen come out of it good. The amount of vet nurses I know fresh out of Tafe and doing puppy classes is crazy as well some never even having had dogs of their own

Isn't there Australian working dog rescue? Don't know details of them as I'm in Wa

I've watched quite a few of their classes and worked with most of their trainers on some level. They always have more than one trainer in a class and will match play styles when it's time for offlead. All the puppies aren't just running around crazy. If you are wanting correct socialisation for your pup they are a very safe bet, puppies I have seen come out of those classes (from working as a helper and taking bits of the classes) they are off to an amazing start to their puppy hood :) I would definitely steer away from any puppy classes run by vet nurses without a qualification in dog training though.

If you contact paw prints pet training, I highly recommend them don't know where abouts they do their classes in that area but they are accredited dog trainers running a puppy class rather than vet nurses.

There's a park in edgewater called picnic cove which has never been very busy. The water is rather gross but my very reactive dog swims in there. Pretty much anywhere in the yellongonga regional park that isn't perrys paddock is a safe bet for reactives to have some alone time. there is lots of little nooks and crannies off the track. Touch wood I haven't seen a snake in the 2 years of living around here and walking the dogs. I walk from ocean reef road to picnic cove through the bush which is about a 5 km round trip with time at picnic cove for swimming and playing before heading back. The royal was so good :) was good to see everyone especially people I haven't seen in a while and all the doggies.
