Meet The Team
Chief Trainer
Lauren Allen
Lauren has spent the past 15 years working with dogs. She is a professional dog trainer and dog agility enthusiast. She has a fancy piece of paper from Waikato University with the words 'Bachelor of Animal Behaviour and Biodivesity & Ecology' on it, and several dog training certificates. She specialises in puppies and naughty dogs!
Dean
Thomas Allen
Thomas is the newest human addition to the team- he keeps the chaos organised! He has completed Animal Behaviour papers at university, and works closely along side Lauren helping out in puppy and obedience classes. We hope one day to see him in the agility ring ;)
Puppy Proffessor
Pikachu
Pika is an almost 3 year-old 'South Auckland Special' from Manukau Pound, and is one of the most staple members of the team. She specialises in puppy socialisation, and you will often see her in obedience class giving demonstrations. She is a certified Good Girl ™ and competes in Agility.
Associate Professor
Eevee
Eevee is the newest canine member of the team, but has quickly proved herself invaluable. She has quickly picked up the ropes from Pikachu helping socialising the puppies, and works closely along side our Feline Advisors. She is almost a year old, and from Wellington Pound.
Coach
Baxter
Baxter is our resident grumpy old dog- and one of the best around for teaching bigger dogs to respect little dog boundaries! He is a 10 year old Miniature Pinscher, retired agility dog and considers himself a professional burglar. No Tupperware container will keep him out.
Tutor
Totodile
Toto- has teeth, will bite. Our teenage Malinois who is 'very' busy with important things. He is in charge of sorting all the recycling, and biting anything that needs to be bitten.
Feline Associate
Prince Zuko
Our inhouse royalty! Prince Zuko has an important job of teaching our puppies all about cats, and how they are to be treated like royalty.
Feline Associate
Avatar Aang
The newest addition to Arrow's Adventures team. He's still getting settled in but hopefully will join Zuko as a Feline Advisor in our Kindy program.
