Dog Lovers
WE LOVE COMING TO WORK EVERY DAY AND SEEING THE PURE JOY THAT DOGS BRING TO OUR LIVES. THE TEAM AT WOOKIE DOGS WELCOMES YOU WITH OPEN PAWS
Wookie Dogs began in 2018 from a deep passion for working with and understanding dogs. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of learning from incredible trainers, vets, groomers and other industry professionals, all with one goal in mind, to create supportive services that help dogs and their people live their best lives.
Today, we’re proud to call a beautiful 6-acre property in the heart of the Swan Valley home. Here, we offer a one-of-a-kind daycare for social dogs, focused on building confidence and sound social skills, as well as our Sniffari range of private hire and chauffeured visits. Alongside our services, we also offer a growing range of high-quality gear designed to help dogs and their humans experience the world safely and joyfully.
From little things, big things grow! And as a family-run business, we truly believe it’s the little things that have helped us become who we are today.
Our journey began with Tidus, a special rescue boy who inspired it all. Tidus came to us fearful and unsure of the world, but with patience, understanding, and a lot of training (us and him!), he blossomed into a confident explorer learning to make friends and live his best life. Though we sadly said goodbye to him in December 2023, his spirit lives on through everything we do, reminding us every day why Wookie Dogs exists: to help more dogs discover the same joy, freedom, and love he found.
What began as solo dog walks soon grew into pack hikes across Perth’s beautiful trails. Along the way, we connected with countless dedicated dog lovers, expanding our knowledge and our mission.
Then, in 2020, when the world slowed down, so did we, but only for a moment. With walks no longer possible, we set out to find a space where dogs could safely play, learn, and explore. After months of searching, we discovered a run-down patch of land tucked away in the Swan Valley. It didn’t look like much at first, but we saw its potential. With the help of our family, a shoestring budget, and plenty of hard work, that little patch became the Wookie Dogs Adventure Playground, the space our community knows and loves today.
Wookie Dogs continues to grow, with more projects on the go, helping dogs near and far, from Perth’s backyard adventures to families across the world enjoying our gear. No matter how big we get, our mission stays the same: to give every dog the freedom to explore, learn, and live their best life. 🧡
Beth started Wookie Dogs in 2018 after years of volunteering, studying, and talking about dogs so much that her friends stopped inviting her to dinner.
She’s been obsessed with learning everything about dog behaviour ever since and still finds new ways to make Wookie Dogs even more fun, safe, and tail-waggy.
A lifelong animal lover (yes, even the cats get cuddles), Beth treats every pup like her own, with patience, laughter, and a few too many muddy paw prints on her clothes.
Tidus is our Wookie Dogs founding Dog. Tidus was adopted from the RSPCA in 2016, found abandoned on the side of the road and taken to the pound when no one claimed him.
He had some behavioural issues but together with Beth his new owner, they embarked on a journey to grow together learning how to help Tidus be the best he could be and live life to the fullest which in turn led to the creation of Wookie Dogs.
His part to play is immortalized in our Wookie Dogs Logo.
Tuesday is a 2-year-old Belgian Shepherd who taught Beth that even though she had years of knowledge and experience under her belt there is always more to learn! Tuesday was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease at an early age and was muzzle-trained to help prevent him from eating things that could cause a flare-up and to keep everyone safe when he is not feeling well.
Tuesday is at the forefront of the muzzle education advocating for the use of muzzles in our society and helping to battle the negative image muzzles often have.
