Who will be teaching?
Dhanya has always loved dogs. To take that love to the next level she started on a quest to raise a balanced, healthy and happy dog, and consulted and worked with numerous dog trainers, behavioural specialists, vets, vet nurses, breeders, pet shop attendants and dog lovers. She even got to make use of the research and analytical skills she gained from her degrees (Arts, Law and Business)! She currently has a 7 month old puppy Harry. He is an Australian terrier (aka Australian terror), is very cheeky and keeps her constantly amused and vigilant!
Harry’s teaching qualifications for this class include being a dog and he has a certificate of attendance from K9 Puppy School. Harry’s interests include chewing sticks, tummy rubs, licking stuff and being the centre of attention at all times! He currently has 2 humans – they are generally entertaining, supply food, and are quite easy to train.
