Dog training is a great way to build trust and mutual respect while bonding. A well trained dog with good manners is more manageable, relaxed, content and confident and this results in better quality of life for the dog.
The trainer learns the importance of patience, consistency and understanding the dog. The use of force free training methods also teach us that violence is not necessary to get what we want and helps to nurture kindness and compassion.
These are just some of the benefits experienced by those attending our township dog school in Mpophomeni.
These photos of our senior class show our top handlers in action enjoying quality time with their dogs.

Artefacts was born when the owner Sandi, had finished a huge Company Rehabilitation Consultancy and could not decide whether to continue Financial Consulting or start on a completely new project.
While driving around Howick one day I drove past the old "Bloo Monkey" in the Falls Precinct and an idea began!! It had the space, it had the potential position and it could bring out a passion that started as a young child being dragged by my father to Auctions and Antique shops collecting high end Art, furniture and Glass.
So with a deep breath I purchased the property and went about redecorating and redesigning the property to suite Antiques, Art, Gifting, Jewellry and generally a shop that anyone of any age could come in and buy something for everyone for every occasion as well as an Interior Decorators Heaven for their clients.
The Art Gallery side came about by mistake, I was in a shopping centre and saw a little HARTS Art Exhibition. On chatting to a member I found out that there are 100's of Artists and Crafters who have no outlet or a place to sell their amazing treasures. So the concept of being Howicks Art Gallery started most especially as there is so much wall space in the shop.
All products are of the highest quality and if anyone brings in furniture or items that need repair before going on the floor we have a workshop to bring the love back. Anyone can bring in their Art and Furniture on a consignment basis and I add on a mark up to cover the overheads and insurances as well as marketing and sales of their products.
To compliment that I purchase new items that always work with the shops eclectic concept as well as refurbish furniture and make specialised items.
Our biggest selling points are the atmosphere and layout of the shop that all our customers love, but also you cannot find the same anywhere else in the Midlands and we try and keep prices at a Howick rate and not tourist rate even though we do have some good tourist traffic and accommodate their shopping requirements which also gives our locals the options to buy goodies for their overseas visits and visitors to our part of the Midlands Meander.
We are based on the far side of the Falls Precinct being 2 Harvart Street, Howick.
There is plenty of safe parking and if you want a cup of coffee while you wander around we can do that for you too...

Finding balance, this is what CBD boils down to.
Just like you, your body is in a constant quest for balance—or, in biological terms, “homeostasis.” Homeostasis depends on your body maintaining a stable internal environment. Overall homeostasis includes each variable within your body—countless things like blood glucose, body temperature, blood pressure, hormonal levels, and more.
One of the most important tools your body uses to achieve homeostasis is the endocannabinoid system (ECS). In basic terms, CBD helps your ECS to function better so you can manage outside stressors while maintaining your inner equilibrium: home sweet homeostasis.

I had the privilege of representing the u24 Ultimate Frisbee South African team at the World Championships in Heidelberg, Germany this year. The trip was an amazing experience and I learnt a lot both on and off the playing field.
I had the opportunity to spend a few days with family relatives before the tournament started. I stayed in a small village called Hornbach, about twenty minutes outside of Heidelberg. The family was very accommodating and helpful with immersing me in the rich German culture.
The tournament included 51 teams from 27 different countries from across the globe. It was split into three divisions Men, Women and Mixed of which South Africa participated in the latter. We played a total of eleven games and two warm-up fixtures against Singapore and Czech Republic. Some of my highlights were playing the Irish team, as they were definitely one of the best spirited teams in the tournament and fun to be around. My second is playing the Singapore team as they finished 3rd overall, it was amazing to watch and play against such a strong team. The final highlight was to be able to witness some of the best u24 players in the world play in the finals.
Although we did not finish with the desired result in placement we were awarded the spirit trophy for the Mixed Division. This is given to the team which most embraces the Spirit of the Game. In addition we moved up three places from our original seeded ranking.
Thank you for supporting me throughout this wonderful experience and helping me achieve my dream of competing at this high level. Your support, financially or in other manner, has been highly appreciated. Thank you to all who helped make this happen.

Working with ToPS Species (Threatened or Protected Species).
This time it's a very rare (and absolutely adorable)... Tree Hyrax (Denrohyrax arboreus).
This juvenile arrived earlier this week after being found in the Balgowan Conservancy, wandering alone in the daytime. Being nocturnal mammals this was highly unusual.
Tree Hyrax, unlike the Rock Hyrax are solitary and tend to stay in their immediate family group, consisting of a mother and her young during the breeding season.
They are arboreal folivores, this means that they feed on foliage (leaves), and make use of cavities in trees as dens, which the mother and her young will inhabit during the daylight hours. This little one can skillfully climb tress at the amazing age of 1 day and eats solid food from day 3!!! It will be returned to the wild shortly.
