Help ZuZu Get the Training She Needs

Hi everyone,

I’m raising funds to help my dog, ZuZu, enroll in a professional board & train program that will give her the structure, skills, and confidence she needs to thrive.

ZuZu is a 9-month-old Australian Kelpie—an incredibly smart, energetic, and driven breed. She’s curious, loving, and eager to learn, but like many high-drive working dogs, she needs more guidance and consistency than I can provide on my own. As she grows, it’s become clear that professional training will make a huge difference in helping her become a calm, well-mannered, and confident companion.

The program I’m hoping to enroll her in is an 8-week board & train that focuses on foundational and advanced obedience, including:

• Reliable recall

• Leash and off-leash manners

• Calm behavior in public spaces

• House manners and impulse control

• Desensitization to new environments and distractions

• Socialization and appropriate dog interactions

This training is not just about obedience—it’s about safety, communication, and giving ZuZu the tools she needs to succeed long-term. The total cost of the program is $5,000, which covers her training, daily structure, and professional handling throughout the 8 weeks.

I will be fully involved in continuing her training once the program is complete, and this investment will help ensure ZuZu and I can build a strong, balanced partnership for years to come.

Any contribution—big or small—means more than I can express. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser also helps immensely. Thank you so much for supporting ZuZu and helping give her the chance to reach her full potential.

With gratitude,

Lizzy
