Special moments

Over the years, dog training has taken CLEAR owner Caroline Strainig and her dogs on some wonderful adventures. Together, Caroline and her dogs have competed successfully in a variety of dog sports, including traditional obedience, rally obedience, tricks, Dances with Dogs and flyball, earning numerous state, national and Royal Show awards along the way.

While ribbons and titles are never the reason for training, they can be a reflection of the partnership, teamwork and enjoyment that develop between dogs and their owners over time.

These photographs capture just a few moments from that journey, from training and competition to proud achievements and candid moments with her much-loved dogs, Adam. Hope and Lockie.
