 Maenai syntia, maenai maenai i kenuhand at Wagling's Dog Holiday and Greening Retreat. A typical day we'll be starting sort of at 7.30, getting the dogs out into their play groups, into the yard so that they can toilet and play and have a good time for the morning. So while they're doing that, we are back in the kennels and we're doing all the cleaning. So we're cleaning up all the poos and weeds and checking bedding, making sure that everything is clean and dry, refreshing water, so once all the dogs come back in, we go back out and make sure the yards are clean and then we start all over again. It's a noisy environment, so you need to be able to manage that. More trustworthy and reliable, hard-working you are, more responsibility you're given and you can move on to different things within the business. You have to be really dedicated and committed to the dogs and to their welfare looking after them. So sometimes you have to be a quick thinker and that not all dogs like each other. Good to be able to read the signs and to step in and think quickly, change the situation before it escalates. So that's really important to you, whether that's taking a particular dog out of the yard, putting a dog into time-out or just making sure that they're working on well. Not every dog initially is going to be happy to be in this environment, particularly if you're a new dog, so you have to be quite patient and learn to know the dogs as individuals and what they like and what they don't like. I come from a background of working with animals, so I had worked in a pet shop. I've always had lots of animals at home and I've done some volunteer work for the SPCA, so I had a good general background. Have as much to do, you know, with animals as you can. Working for, you know, the SPCA or who are or the zoo or whatever it is that interests you. Well, we all love dogs. Everybody who works here loves dogs. It is a big part of our day having cuddles. Sometimes we quite often say, when mum and dad come to pick the dogs up, you know, we'd keep her if you like.
