Balanced Animal Therapy Improving balance, function, comfort and relaxation in all animals, specialising in horses and dogs. Is your horse underperforming?
(1)

Educating owners in developing relationships with their animals through true relaxation, and providing therapy for their own horses and dogs. Has your horse’s personality changed? Is your horse continually unwell or injured? Does your horse: grump at you during girthing up or rugging, go on two tracks when it should be one, have a lazy or weak hind leg, refuse to go forward, have a poor top-line no matter what your feeding or work regime, buck or pigroot regularly, refuse jumps, or struggle with lateral work? These common problems are often not related to poor training and temperament but are directly related to pain. Horses performing in all fields can be helped by Robyn, bringing them back to full health and performance. Often horses recover so well they exceed all previous performances and expectations. Give Robyn a call to find out how she can help your horse today - 0431 387 787

It's not usually the actual race that damages the horse.

Why am I training a conservation dog?
I chose a working line Labrador pup and decided to let him show me what he could do.
He showed me he could track, to my eyes he is pretty damn good at it.
My mind is often occupied by the plight of wildlife, especially those injured and endangered.
So I pondered how Orion could help...
My first idea was to utilize Orion to assist in finding injured wombat joeys (and that's still on the planner) but the politics proved a bit of a challenge.After many discussions I decided to train him to find mange, saving volunteers countless hours searching out affected wombats. But collecting mange scent hasn't been possible. (It's also still on the planner).
It was time to get going on something scent wise so Mentor Steve Austin suggested Koala.
Orion and I can then work in the commercial field as well as in disaster areas.
Once Orion has learned the 'game' we can train him for other scents.
Of course there's more to this story which I will share later.

Here's a bit of history for you:
The use of conservation dogs began in the 1890s when New Zealand conservationist Richard Henry trained his pet dog to sniff out rare birds like the kakapo for relocation to safe islands. Today, Australia is a global leader in utilizing detection dogs to locate threatened species and eradicate invasive predators, with pioneers like Steve Austin training dogs for decades to protect ecosystems on Macquarie Island, Lord Howe Island and much more.

I have unwittingly given Orion a great start to being a conservation dog by allowing him to explore....like a crazy beast 🤪
