Annika is a friendly face that you will see around our reception area. Annika is also our queen of puppy school. Annika owns a Kelpie named Arya, who is training in scent detection and tracking – and acing it. She is top of the class. Annika is also teaching Arya talking buttons and “learning to talk”, so far Arya loves to request playtime outside.
We also want to dedicate a massive thanks to our current students here at Hornsby Heights – Thea, Ella, Leah and Sarah. We appreciate all the hard work they do and are happy we can support them on their way to becoming veterinary nurses.
