Has your puppy had unusual behaviours, such as whining, destruction of the house, trembling, excessive vocalisations, mouthing or nipping, inappropriate elimination, etc?

Your dog may be suffering the symptoms of intense anxiety or stress!

During the training session, we will identify the factors and signs of a dog’s anxiety, as well as the steps you will need to take to improve your dog’s self-confidence levels and independence.

A guide about Dog’s Anxiety and Communication, and a practical plan to follow will be provided.

Did you know? 🐾
Dogs experience the world in amazing ways:
👃 250 million scent receptors (we only have 6 million!)
👀 4x better night vision than humans
👂 Hear up to 45,000 Hz (we max out at 20,000)
💧 They even taste water
🐶 Whiskers = super sensitive sensors — never cut them!

Understanding your dog’s senses is key to understanding their emotions — and the first step to positive training. 🧠❤️

👀 🐶 Ever feel like your dog is always watching you?
Here’s why it’s actually the cutest thing ever:

👓 They’re reading your emotions
🧏🏻‍♂️ Eye contact = bonding (hello, oxytocin!)
🦴 Sometimes they just want snacks
🦮 And yep — they know when you’re about to grab the leash

They’re not being nosy — they’re in love. ❤️

There’s nothing more rewarding than caring for a senior dog. 
Bruce is 19, has been to 11 countries, and inspired so many to adopt and love their own dogs. He’s the heart of a 4-generation household.

Adopt a senior dog.
The love, the lessons, the gratitude—it stays with you forever.

Unfortunately, we still use the needless noisy fireworks to most of the humans ‘exciting’ celebrations. 
This is NOT exciting for your dog and away from being fun for them!👎🏻

Here are some effective Environmental Management TIPS to keep your dog safe, settled and relaxed while the event is happening:👍🏻
🐾 Take your dog for a dog-led/sniff walk prior the event;
🐾 Turn a calming music on, (such as piano, classical and low pacing instrumental music);
🐾 Close the windows and doors to promote an auditory barrier;
🐾 Set a cozying space for your dog to hide with their favourite toys and calming enrichment tools, (such as chewing toys and food puzzles);
🐾 Consider specific dog essences, (such as Adaptil that contains Dog Appeasement Pheromone and veterinarian formulated essential oils).

If you want to know more about Environmental Management, Safety and Enrichment tools, please contact us to help you to set a plan for your dog’s success. 👉🏻🏠 @gus.pets

My girl attends GusPets twice a week and she always runs through the gate so excited. Gus is amazing with the dogs and cares about them so much. My dog is my whole world and I’m very selective over who looks after her. I’ve never worried about her in Gus’s care, and know that she’s having an amazing day while I’m at work. I couldn’t recommend highly enough.

We love Gus and so does Chupi! As soon as she sees his house she goes crazy with excitement. She comes home exhausted from all the fun and playing all day. Gus watched over her for 4 days for us, and she didn’t want to come home. Very happy we found Gus.

It’s hard enough leaving a beloved pet at home let alone with someone else to look after, however, GusPets service is really an extension of being at home. The extensive behavioural knowledge and expertise is so reassuring. When I think dog house, I think cold and uninviting, GusPets home is welcoming and designed truly for our fur family in mind. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and Gus loves all of his guests as if they were his own. 5 out of 5 stars all round! Thank you Gus for becoming part of and taking care of my fur family.

Gus is amazing! His passion for dogs knows no bounds. My puppy Kali absolutely loves going to Gus'. As soon as I say his name she starts crying and jumping around like mad. Kali is my first dog, so to know she is happy and extremely well looked after when she is with Gus is very comforting for me. I can't recommend Gus Pets enough to anyone who is looking for dog day care.

Gus is a very good trainer. Our 3 year old dog barks at everything,by the end of the hour Gus had taught us how to handle the barking and the essential commands like "leave it". Our dog was able to stop barking and wait. It was amazing. I feel with the training today and consistent daily 5 to 10 minute training the problem barking will be solved. Thank you Gus.

Gus genuinely cares about the happiness, well being and quality of our puppy's life and our family as dog owners so we enjoy the benefits of his service every single day.

We LOVE Guspets and so does our little doggo Monty. Gus has been a huge reassurance for us and now we wouldnt leave our dog with anyone else! Infact we planned our whole relocation for our pets move back to NZ around Gus' availability. His calm and reassuring approach made us have peace of mind when leaving our 4month old puppy with Gus and we have been using him ever since. He is super knowledgeable and friendly, and keeps us up-to-date with videos, photos and most importantly our questions to ensure we are relaxed about our pups wellbeing. Highly recommend Gus and all his services!!

Gus is amazing. You could not ask for a more kind, caring and professional pet carer. Gus goes above and beyond to care for your pets and treat them as a part of his family. Gus is very knowledgeable in animal behaviours and emotions and is able to navigate any quirks that you may be concerned about. I know that I can leave my dogs in Gus's care and not have to worry about a thing. Thank you Gus!
