Sir "Frank" Franklin
A true gentleman

24/01/2009 - 12/04/2022

Age: 13yrs 2 months 19 days

A true gentleman til the very end. Sadly missed, always remembered.

Frank is the dog training dog. His temperament and attitude has helped many dog's to relax and not to be anxious. He is the Clint Eastwood of the dog world. He's cool, chilled and mysterious.

Having been rescued himself, he understands dog's need positive confident guidance. Frank's loves are food, parks & beach, more food & more food again.

Jazzy Devil

Matriarch

29/04/2006 -02/10/2023

Age: 17yrs 5 months 3 days

My Jazzy Devil girl now has wings. What she gave is more than I could ask.

Sadly missed forever.

 

Adopted from a K9 rescue, Jazzy has come out of her shell and taken on the position as dog manager to Frank & Benny.

When on the job, her independence & assertiveness teaches 

dog's about manners & that she may be small but she still deserves respect. Jazzy loves to sleep, eating, chasing the ball & skateboarding.

Tesla

Tesla brings to the training her classy modern day sassy chix looks that male dogs drool over and females want to be her. She is flirtatious with the boys and has no time for the girls. Telsa teaches 

dog's about social manners, respect and although she may look sweet and innocent, rub her up the wrong way, she'll explode in a flash then return to her sweet innocent demeanour in half a flash.

Adopted from a GAP -Greyhounds for Pets (WA), she wasn't interested in racing but rather play with her siblings. Tesla found her new home sweet home with Frank, her life companion.

P.S (she's loves having secret rendezvous  plays

with Benny.)
