The Dog You Have NZ
About The Dog You Have
The individual animals we choose to share our lives with can
sometimes be a dream come true and sometimes it doesn’t
quite go according to plan... The Dog You Have started as a
Facebook page in April 2020 and has grown from there.
Depending on your needs and concerns, there are class or one
on one options available.
The Dog You Have wants to teach people how to communicate
in a safe, effective and kind way.
"Let's get smarter, not rougher."
