The Mutts Nuts - About Us & USPs

🐾 About Us

Hi, we’re Julia and Shane — the humans behind The Mutts Nuts.

We live on an organic farm in Degilbo, Queensland, with a pack of happy Kelpies, a few bossy geese, and a cat who’s definitely middle management.

We started The Mutts Nuts because we wanted dogs to have a real holiday — not a concrete kennel. Here, dogs stay in our farmhouse, snooze on the couch, explore the paddocks, splash in the river, and eat better than most humans. Every guest gets love, laughs, and a bit of Bowen therapy to help them unwind.

Between us, we’ve spent years training working dogs, helping rescues find balance, and perfecting the art of dog cuddles. We treat every dog like our own — which means they get freedom, structure, and ridiculous amounts of affection.

Our favourite compliment? “When we die, we want to come back as one of your dogs.” We couldn’t ask for higher praise — and honestly, we’d want to come back here too.

Basically, it’s a dog’s dream. And we get to live it every day.

Unique Points that make us paws above the rest!

🌿 The Mutts Nuts Difference

Farmhouse Luxury, Not Kennels

Home, not kennels – your dog stays in our farmhouse, part of the family.

Freedom to Be a Dog

Wide open paddocks, rivers to swim in, and plenty of fresh air. Dogs can run, roll, sniff, and nap wherever their heart leads them.

Truly Personal Care

We take time to get to know every guest — their quirks, needs, and favourite games. No conveyor-belt care here, just genuine love and attention.

Bowen Therapy & Holistic Wellness

Every stay includes a gentle Bowen therapy session to relax muscles, calm nerves, and help dogs settle beautifully into the farm rhythm.

Training from the Heart

Our unique blend of traditional training, animal communication, and intuitive handling builds confidence, trust, and lasting results.

Organic Meals & Natural Products

Fresh, farm-inspired meals made with real ingredients. Plus, our own natural range of balms, shampoos, and sprays — handmade, safe, and chemical-free.

Pack Walks & Social Balance

Dogs learn calm social behaviour through structured, confidence-building pack walks across the farm.

Locally Made & Proudly Australian

From our Biothane leads to our balm tins — everything is crafted by hand right here in Queensland.

For Dogs Who Deserve the Best

Whether they’re here for training, rehab, or a farm-style holiday, every dog leaves happier, healthier, and totally relaxed — that’s The Mutts Nuts promise.

What Our Client’s Say

“My two little sausages absolutely adore Yappy Hour and their gentle farm walks. Freddie was attacked on a walk back home and lost all confidence around other dogs — but after spending time in the Mutts Nuts pack, he’s a new boy! The healing power of the pack walks is something special. Thank you, Julz and Shane, for giving my boys their sparkle back.”

Molly – Toowoomba

Dogs: Travis Barker & Freddie (Dachshunds)

“I’d never left my dogs for two weeks before, so I was a nervous wreck. Jed’s an older Staffie, and the Bowen therapy sessions worked wonders — he’s walking better than he has in years! Zoe’s my shadow, but she fell head-over-heels for Shane and Julz. Honestly, neither of my babies wanted to come home. That says it all.”

Sharon – Degilbo

Dogs: Jed (Staffie) & Zoe

“All three of my Kelpies came from Shane and Julz, so there was never any question where they’d stay while I was away. Vi’s come back sharper on sheep, and the young ones — Rooster and Bonnie — learned a few manners too! They came home fit, happy, and loved. Couldn’t ask for better hands to leave them in.”

Sam – Bundaberg

Dogs: Vi, Bonnie & Rooster (Kelpies)

“Cedric thinks he’s royalty — and at The Mutts Nuts, he’s treated like the little king he is! My three Kelpie girls also adore it there. They come home well socialised, well exercised, and full of joy. Knowing Shane and Julz truly get dogs makes going away stress-free for me.”

Sarah – Gayndah

Dogs: Cedric (Dachshund), Steph, Amber & Bindi (Kelpies)

“These two are my first real team of working dogs, so I was picky about where they’d stay. I didn’t want them anywhere else but The Mutts Nuts. Shane and Julz gave them heaps of exercise and just as much love. They came home happy, fit, and ready to work — the perfect mix."

Mel – Mundubbera

Dogs: Wendy & Jill (Working Dogs)
