The Fur Get Me Not Story
Fur Get Me Not was born through recognition that people and their expectations of their dogs are changing. Dogs are no longer just pets they are an integral part of the family. This means there is an increased expectation of the level of manners or behaviour we expect of our dogs.
Fur Get Me Not’s mission is to improve the wellbeing and mental health of dogs and help people to live the life they want to live with their dog. Fur Get Me Not believes that the only effective way to train a dog is by building a strong relationship built on trust and mutual respect. Committed to only using methods that are scientifically proven and effective and based on positivity, quality and transparency. People were seeking a service that took a kind and gentle approach not just with their dog but the entire family and Fur Get Me Not is committed to always erring on the side of kindness.
