TL;DR (Too Long; Didn’t Read)

14 new dog beds arrived (luxury has entered the chat)

Welcome to Emme and Meela

Rover the robot mower joined the team and immediately won Employee of the Month by doing almost nothing socially

We’d love a Google or Facebook review

Tell us what your dog would love more (or less) of at daycare

The Full Version

June has been a month of upgrades, new faces, and one surprisingly underwhelming employee.

New beds = happier dogs

We’ve added 14 new dog beds ranging from medium to XXL.

There’s now a mix of styles — lower, extra-padded beds for our older dogs, plus raised beds to help with airflow and summer comfort.

Bonus: they’re also much easier to clean, which may not excite the dogs, but definitely excites management.

Welcome Emme and Meela

A big welcome to Emme and Meela, our newest members of the Canine Collective crew.

They’ve been settling in, making friends, and learning the important daycare rules — where the best beds are and who gives out the best attention.

Meet Rover — our newest employee

Our robot lawn mower Rover has officially joined the team.

His employment started with a minor incident where management accidentally broke him (me ??), but after a brief recovery period, he’s back - see facebook for photo

Current performance review:?? Excellent lawn maintenance?? Never late?? Low maintenance employee?? Has made absolutely no effort to socialise

The dogs investigated briefly and collectively agreed he wasn’t worth their time.

So naturally…

Employee of the Month

Reviews + your ideas

If you’ve got a minute, we’d really appreciate a Google or Facebook review.

Nothing fancy — just honest and real feedback.

And while we’ve got lots of ideas of our own, we’d love yours too.

If there’s anything your dog would enjoy more (or less) of — more play, different enrichment, favourite things from home, or things they’re not keen on — please tell us.

Our goal is simple: happier dogs and a daycare experience that feels right for each individual dog.

Thanks for being part of the Canine Collective
