Hello Pup

Beautiful 🙌🏻

So proud to be part of the Thrive Canine team!

We filed against Whitehorse Council in VCAT today and I’m not afraid to talk about it.

We had a contract with Whitehorse to use one of their parks for dog training classes. After we filled our first round of classes, trained staff, bought equipment and developed course programs, Whitehorse tried to cancel our contract without compensating us. There was no valid legal basis for them to do this, and they breached other laws in the process. We’ve suffered $3,500 in loss.

To top it off, when we refused to cancel our classes as the contract had been terminated invalidly, they sent two burly male rangers to the park to harass us and force us to cease operating in front of our clients.

That was the final straw.

Do not pick a fight with a lawyer.

Thrive will not be bullied, and we will not allow either us or our force free colleagues to be treated unfairly. We work so hard to do everything completely by the book, and operate solely to serve the community and improve animal welfare and safety. This conduct was completely unconscionable. See you in court.

Our classes continue to run at an alternative location. Visit our website to enrol and train your dog with a strong, women-owned and operated business which proritises ethics and fairness - across all aspects of our company.

This should be a no-brainer really! If you're NOT in a designated off-leash area, please don't let your dog roam and approach other dogs on leads. He may be "small & and friendly" but he'll still scare the wits out of a reactive dog.. 😢
