Where about
Covering the whole of
the Mid Western Region, NSW...
PADS was originally set up to work with people within the assistance dog industry as well as helping people with training and assessments of individual assistance dogs.
When we moved to beautiful Gulgong and now Mudgee, NSW almost 12 years ago Adele found that there was a need for dog training programs, private consults, behavioural programs and consultancy and she has since included these in her business hence where the “assistance and solutions” really starts to work.
