URGENT UPDATE: Renowned Tasmanian author Rachael Treasure is set to host a special dog training event at Glenelg Libraries on November 20, 2025. The event promises an engaging session featuring her beloved dog, Dolly Pupton, and insights from her acclaimed book, Dog Speak.

These FREE events will include light refreshments, making them perfect for dog lovers and families alike. Attendees are encouraged to book in advance by calling 5522 2265 or visiting their local library branch.
This event is not just about dog training; it’s a chance to connect with a leading voice in contemporary rural fiction. Rachael’s Dog Speak, first published in 2007, aims to strengthen the bond between humans and dogs, showcasing training techniques that are essential for pet owners, whether in urban settings or rural areas.
Rachael, who won the Tasmanian Rural Woman of the Year award, has dedicated her career to empowering rural women and promoting responsible dog ownership. Her work in agriculture and journalism reflects her passion for the land and the stories of women who work it. As she prepares for this event, her personal journey—from a jillaroo to a best-selling author—continues to inspire many.
With her latest novel, Milking Time, Rachael aims to ignite a rural women’s rebellion, further proving her commitment to advocacy. Despite her accolades and acclaim, she remains grounded, living near Orielton, Tasmania, with her family and a menagerie of animals, including a goat named Barbara Gordon.
This event at Glenelg Libraries is a unique opportunity to learn from a pioneer in dog training and rural literature. Don’t miss your chance to meet Rachael Treasure and deepen your understanding of dog training while enjoying the vibrant community spirit of Glenelg Libraries.
