Our Recommendations
What to Wear

- Sunscreen & hat – Don’t forget to Slip, Slop, Slap.
What to Bring
- Motivators for your dog – ie. food, treats, favourite toy. Treats are available for purchase from Café Bones.
- Bum Bags – practical to carry personal belongings, treats etc. so your hands are free for training.
