Paw-fect turnout at the Let’s Talk Dogs

A love of dogs brought the community together on Saturday when local business Kats ‘N’ Dogs hosted a free information session, Let’s Talk Dogs, at their new Taragala Street store.

The event drew a strong crowd of dog enthusiasts from Cowra and beyond, with attendees even travelling from Bathurst and Grenfell to hear from three guest presenters, who donated their time to the morning’s event: Canine Behaviourist Pauline Gill, Whole Energy Body Balance (WEBB) Practitioner Tara Wallace, and Raw Feeding Specialist Jacki Oates.

The trio shared practical insights into understanding and caring for our four-legged companions. Pauline spoke about the importance of rapport and incidental training, highlighting how rewarding good behaviour strengthens the bond between dog and owner.

Jacki explained how diet can directly influence canine behaviour and training outcomes, while Tara introduced participants to WEBB Bodywork techniques that help pets achieve a state of calm and relaxation.

The presentations sparked lively discussion, with plenty of questions from the audience eager to put their new knowledge into practice at home.

The morning also marked a milestone for Kats ‘N’ Dogs, celebrating its relocation to a larger, brighter premises, an exciting development for the growing local business.

Adding to the celebrations, attendee Allison was the lucky winner of a prize generously donated by The Dog Spot.

Organisers said they hope to return soon with hands-on workshops, giving local dog lovers more opportunities to learn, share, and enjoy time with their canine companions.
