Lawdogs Australia — Local services in The Summit

Ok.. the dogs are the stars at this place. Rightly so. They will show you the various dogs they have at different stages of their training, so if things don't go according to the description of the presenter, don't worry. Make sure you book.

I was more interested in watching what the...

What a wonderful experience. The dog show is worth it and one gets an idea of how patient one needs to be if doing specialist dog training.

There is also local honey one can purchase. Definitely pop in if you're in the area. Check the website for opening days as they are not open that often. When we went they were only open on Wednesday and Saturday from 11am. Also check when they do the...

Very interesting display of young dogs in training to be defence and attack dogs in the security industry and dogs to be used for detection and as truffle dogs. The training focuses on teaching skill without cruelty. Their plan to rescue and train abandoned dogs is highly commendable and fabulous to see in action.

They have a great shop with lots of local produce which can be sampled and...
