About Us Experience you can count on
With over 16 years’ experience as Dog Behaviourists and running Doggy Daycare, your dog is in safe hands with us! We’re also accredited Dog Trainers with a Certificate 111 in Dog Behaviour & Training through the National Dog Trainer’s Federation of Australia. This qualification is nationally recognised and covers all aspects of dog behaviour, training, body language, etc.
We’ve also taught at TAFE College QLD. Our focus was on Dog Behaviour, Psychology, and Body Language. We often taught students about getting into the Dog Industry and would offer them work experience with us if they showed a keen interest. We’ve always had a natural instinct and connection with all animals, but our deep connection with dogs has played the most significant role in our lives. The companionship and unconditional love we received from dogs has deepened our respect and admiration for them. Working with dogs is one of the most rewarding experiences we’ve ever had. We consider it a privilege to share our life and career with them.
Terms & Conditions
Before attending our Play Group, Daycare, or Overnight Care, please be aware of the following:
All dogs are first temperament tested (via our paid trial day). This is done to assess a dog’s personality and play-style to ensure they’re the right fit for our Doggy Daycare/ Play Group.
Qualification Criteria
New dogs undertake a Behavioural Assessment before joining our Play Group. The assessment involves a friendly chat on the phone to discuss your goals, filling out a “Profile Questionnaire”, followed by a temperament test via a paid trial day.
All dogs must meet the following conditions:
- Be fully vaccinated & on flea/tick control
- We prefer Male Dogs be desexed but its not compulsory. If ‘entire’ males display anti-social behaviours or incessant humping they may not be suitable & more suited to one-on-one walks/swimming. Females are acceptable if not
de-sexed (unless in heat) - Be social with other dogs — we do not accept any anti-social behaviour or pinning, biting, humping, or antagonising of other dogs.
Please Note: Not all dogs are suitable for Play Group. If a dog is overwhelmed at Doggy Daycare and doesn’t grow in confidence within 3 to 4 sessions, we’ll inform you they’re not suitable and may suggest one-on-one Pack Walks or further Training before returning to daycare.
Houndog has the highest work ethics — if your dog doesn’t enjoy the Doggy Daycare experience, we simply won’t take your money and profess your dog enjoys it.
