Grafton Dog Obedience Club

RE SHARE -

One of our club members has relocated her doggy hydrotherapy business from Gold Coast to Grafton!! How lucky are we to now have access to hydrotherapy for our dogs to help them recover from injuries or surgery, to give them relief from arthritis pain, to increase their mobility or to help with weight loss and fitness.
Check out dogworx on Facebook. Sandy is offering Grafton dog Obedience Club members a special introductory offer of $59 for their first session.

Sandy started Dogworx in 2011 to provide behaviour coaching services to pet dogs & their owners.
She completed a Cert in Canine Hydrotherapy in 2022 & started Dogworx Hydrotherapy on the Gold Coast in 2023, then relocated to Grafton, NSW in mid-2026.
