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!

Tutor
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 Professor
Pikachu
Pika is an almost 4 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 our little Heeler cross from Wellington Pound. She is invaluable with the puppies, and you can often find her hoarding everyones toys ;) She is well on her way to becoming a sports dog!

Squad Leader
Squirtle
Our resident baby, and fluffy boy. Squirtle is a Leonberger puppy who is quickly growing to fill a very large hole left by Arrow. He always has excellent vibes, and is sure to make anyone feel comfortable.

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.

Aang is Prince Zukos right hand man. You have to keep an eye out for him, as he's fond of hiding and ambushing unsuspecting victims!
