She is about to begin a national tour with her outrageously funny show about her life with her k9 companion 'Murphy' (definately not a Planet K9 graduate:)) Nicole rates this show as 11/10 and is organising a group booking for Joanne's show on October 3rd at the North Melbourne Town Hall. If you feel like a laugh please talk to your trainer or phone Nicole on 0405772225.
	NEWS FROM OUR TRAINERS   Leonie Wallace who operates our Epping Training centre has just returned from a trip to Alaska where she went sled dog mushing!   Diana Rayment has a new addition to her family. A very cute but as yet nameless rottweiler puppy.   We welcome back Nola Pollard to our team. Nola will be instrucing Basic Manners classes at The Lost Dogs' Home.   Melanie Scott is enjoying training her galah Banjo who was rescued by The Lost Dogs' Home. Banjo regularly attends our Werribee training centre.   Nicole Beasley is looking forward to offering more agility and advanced obedience classes at The Lost Dogs' Home now that we have two training areas! An updated class timetable will be available soon.

Well finding the perfect training partner may be easier than you think! Now that the cooler weather is approaching it is a perfect time to start a fitness regime for your dog that you can also benefit from.Check out Planet K9's dogercise programme on the training tips
