The 2015 inaugural event was very popular with the greater Brisbane Community and saw well over 500 dogs and owners in attendance. Last year, the number of visitors that came along rose to 700!

This community event will be held again at Roy Harvey Park in Stafford (QLD) on Sunday 7th May 2017. Dogs on Patrol aims to enhance the community’s awareness around their personal safety when out and about, encourages walkers to report suspicious activity to Police and connect with local Neighbourhood Watch groups to help ensure our communities continuing staying safe.

Made Easy Family Car Travel with Dog Car Travel

To make dog car travel easy get your dog used to riding in the car by taking him on short trips to start. If you get your dog as a puppy and anticipate it going in the car with you at all, start taking the dog with you in the car early in its life so he recognizes this as routine.

In addition to being hugely stressful to owners, nuisance barking is potentially very dangerous for the dog. Barking can sadly lead to harsh unnecessary punishment, erosion of the human-animal bond and a higher risk of surrender and premature euthanasia.
