 Candi Moon - Chief Instructor



Candi instructs the Furbabies puppy, obedience, Pro Pups and agility classes as well as private lessons and supervises play group.




Candi is a life-long dog lover and has never been without at least one dog since she got her first dog at age four. She currently shares her life with seven dogs, Border Collies Faolan, Strega and Weylyn, Border Collie Basenji mix Ozzy, Labrador Hagan, cross breed Freya and Irish terrier mix Xandria. She works her dogs in obedience, manwork and agility. The household also includes three rescue cats, assorted rabbits and guinea pigs and one very patient husband.

Candi holds a Diploma in Marketing Management and worked in information management before being bitten by the dog training bug. After assisting and teaching in various training classes in the Johannesburg area, she felt there was a need for classes in her area, specifically to address the concerns of dog owners in a fairly dense urban environment, and opened her Furbabies Training School in June 2008. Her experience, extensive education and commitment to ongoing studies in her field ensure a top notch training experience for Furbabies dogs and handlers.

Candi believes that great training starts with having a great relationship with your dog, which is what she hopes to help everyone attending her classes to achieve. She is devoted to helping keep dogs in homes using proper early socialisation and training and by encouraging owner education.

In her spare time she enjoys training and going for long walks with her own dogs, singing, reading, watching movies, learning new things and spending time with friends.
