Did you think I was doing all of this on my own? Nope. Because it takes a village to raise Canberra's most beautifully behaved puppies!
Meet our Puppy Squad:

For over ten years, Jess has worked among and managed busy veterinary hospitals in Sydney and Canberra. She founded our Puppy Preschool program where it is now offered in ten veterinary hospital locations across Canberra.
Jess lives with her partner and their two dogs, Lenny the Kelpie, and Mozzie the Kelpie cross breed.
CHRISTINE
