Assistance Dogs NZ Team Training: Day 2
We haven’t had a lot of opportunity to do public access with Assistance Dogs NZ (ADNZ) Raven while we’ve been on lock-down, and today she rocked it in her new harness. ADNZ Raven’s physiology is different to ADNZ Ben so we’ve been getting the set up right for her public mobility tasks. If you would […]
ADNZ Raven Team Training Day 1
We’ve been together a wee while now, but lockdown prevented the face to face time with a trainer. We’re off to a good start today.
Out for a walk. Level 4, Covid19 Alert
I’ve finally dragged out the GoPro and been taking some footage here and there. This was us getting out on a “government approved exercise” walk on the 23rd April. Assistance Dogs NZ Raven is still getting used to this route and where the barking dogs live. I needed to get my editing groove on again, […]
WOW in the last couple of months the world went a bit wonky!

Road Trip Feb 2018 Part 3
It’s taken awhile, editing a slide-show with voice over is a lot harder than editing video, as you see me state in the video I was a bad vlogger and took lots of pics but no video! A full blog that goes alongside this video will be added shortly. Part 4 shouldn’t be too far […]
Yes, I’ve been a “bad” blogger
A bit of an update Yes I have been quite the last couple of months. It’s been hectic, I’ve been tired and had a few health things surface that I have needed to deal with as well. All this led to me having to step away from the keyboard for a few weeks. So […]
