ABOUT US

Hi, it's Gemma here!

My mission is to change the idea that a dog is something that needs to be owned.

After years of experience working in doggy day care centres and puppy preschool, and studying to complete a Certificate IV in Companion Animal Services through the Delta society I wanted to find a way to connect my skills and experiences with my idea of self love and kindness to others.

I have an anxious and reactive dog who has taught me so much about body language and allowing a dog to have choice. I constantly stay up to date with the latest discoveries in the animal training industry and love passing on my knowledge to you.

One of our points of difference is we focus on calming behaviour, polite play and recall. Your dog will receive daily training from a qualified, force free trainer. 

I look forward to welcoming you to the Bright Eyes and Bushy Tails (BEBT) Family!

WHY CHOOSE BRIGHT EYES + BUSHY TAILS

ROOM TO MOVE

We have an outdoor + indoor play area for our Daycare and Creche dogs. Plenty of room to run and play with their friends.

SAFETY FIRST

Safety is our top priority. Our entrance and play area are doggy proof and sometimes even hooman proof.

Fences for days, trust us, we installed them!!!

We want to keep your furbub safe in every possible way, even if they're prone to run away.

Our many fences and gates are just one way we do this.

AIRCON FOR THOSE HOT DAYS

Maybe one of the hooman's favourite things is our airconditioned indoor area for a little cool down on those hot days. 

ENRICHMENT GALORE

We know how important it is to give your furbub a mental workout and not just a physical one.

They will enjoy a range of enrichment activities throughout their day.

Your dog will enjoy some water play, scatter feeding, sniffing our calming scent garden, toys and more.

OPEN BOOK POLICY

At Bright Eyes and Bushy Tails we practice what we preach and you can be confident that your furbub’s wellbeing is what we care about most. We promise to contact you if your doggy isn’t having a good time.

You might not get shiny things like behaviour report cards or endless photo updates, because our time is spent truly engaging with your furbub and learning more about what they love so we can make it happen.

ENVIRONMENTALLY MINDFUL

We care about the environment. Whenever we can we recycle, upcycle and go plastic and waste free.

Our fences are made out of pallets, our tyres are from our friendly neighbour and our grass used to be a hockey field.

Just ask us, we can geek out all day on this stuff. We’d also love to hear from you, if you have any ideas we can implement to try and reduce our footprint on this beautiful earth.

POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT ZONE

We practice the latest scientifically-based training techniques.

Our owner Gemma is Delta-trained and if she’s not playing with dogs, she’s geeking out on animal podcasts and books.

We believe in choice, games and play. We let dogs be dogs and we love them for that.
