A first Australian dog holiday resort Split Solitary Beach Holiday Park has listed on the Dog Holidays page of www.mydogsite.com.au.
Taking advantage of the full-page listing, with colour photo and Google map, it’s a great way to advertise your dog holiday resort.
The Dog Holiday Search function lets you search for a place to holiday with dogs, with searches possible by any combination of state, region, suburb, property type, and whether it is fenced, if your dog can sleep inside, whether there’s a dog-friendly lake or beach nearby, and whether it’s wheelchair accessible.
I think it’s a great search function. Planned improvements include the ability to add comments and ratings, for all listings at the site.
Come visit My Dog Site for great information on dogs in Australia.
cheers
A study by the University of Western Australia found that dog owners are 68% more likely to perform the recommended level of physical activitiy in a week, than non-dog owners.
And that owning a dog cut the risk of heart disease, Australia’s leading cause of death.

Lance Cove council has just announced that it plans to raise the fee for personal trainers and dog walkers in its parks and ovals o $22 an hour. This is almost twice the current $13 and hour they said they would charge this year – although they didn’t end up collecting any money at all – so this year they plan to use council rangers to enforce it.
Apparently it’s all about principles – they currently tax non-profit sporting organisations for use of ovals, so they should charge all commercial operations a fee.
I can’t say I’m annoyed about the personal trainers – they’re noisy, take up lots of room, and damage benches with their constant use of them as foot rests and exercise benches.
It would be hard to police dog walkers though – how can you tell the difference between a commercial dog walker and a good owner?
