Many of you know last weekend we enjoyed bringing together the inaugural The Naseby dog Re-Treat teaming up with the amazing Naseby Holiday Park to make it all happen.
What a great success the weekend was. We want to thank those who came along and supported the event, participated and learnt lots.
We had an incredible lineup with 3 trainers. Each with their own strengths and specialities for participants to learn from.
Hands on/paws in sessions like group obedience/loose leash training workshop, agility, scent tracking and sled dog skills. Dogs were able to have a go at something different with some people learning their dogs natural abilities.
Then while pooches rested between their activities, we humans gathered to learn in seminars skills and understanding our dogs better to learn to be better pet parents. Socialisation and how your dogs brain works, reactivity, nutrition, clicker training and free shaping (also a little paws in for this fun after learning) and finishing off the weekend with some vital info for every pet parent, pet first aid essentials.
All this set in the amazing Naseby where we ventured to take walks in the beautiful naseby forest in our little bit of downtime and enjoyed a great group evening on the Saturday at the Maniototo Adventure Park curling and having supper.
A huge thank you to our presenters for taking the time to share their knowledge and skills. Crystal from Fur Kids, Flip of Remarkable Dog Training, Fin, and of course myself, Stef at Dog-on Adventures / Dog-On Life.
Thank you to Beth from the Naseby holiday park who made this all happen by asking me a simple question and sharing her idea many moons ago while I was there to enjoy a weekend camping. Turns out I had already had the very similar idea so together we could bring it all together.
Thanks Topflite Hound for their support and providing some tasty treat sample for the doggies to enjoy.
Our delicious morning teas and afternoon teas were provided by the fantastic Black Forest Cafe ...Thank you!!
And lastly the ever talented Brya Ingram Photography for being our photographer, capturing some awesome photoshoots for those who wanted and following us all around over the weekend to capture stunning images of everyone having fun.
