Join us while we chat with special guest, Farmer Dave, on Let's Talk About Pets Ep5 which focuses on Just For Pets major charity partner - Rufftrack!! Rufftrack is an amazing youth program and charity founded and run by Farmer Dave in Riverstone Australia.

Rufftrack take on young people (13-17 years old), who have disengaged with school and the community to give them skills, education, a sense of self-worth and reconnecting them with their community.

While taking part in the Rufftrack program each young person bonds with a dog. That partnership takes them on a journey of learning responsibility, caring for others and communicating without violence. The team then travels the country demonstrating their skills and giving them purpose and a reason to give life a serious go.

Skills attained in the program include dog training, dog sports, horticulture, landscaping, welding, aluminium fabrication, animal husbandry, leatherwork, woodwork, driving and licence attainment, carpentry, mechanics, bushcraft, domestic skills, nutrition and physical education, effective communication, conflict resolution, building healthy relationships."
