Kiwi avoidance training for dogs
26 July
Kiwi avoidance training for dogs is one tool that can help reduce the threat dogs pose to kiwi in the wild, the best way to protect kiwi is to keep dogs out of kiwi habitat altogether. However Kiwi avoidance training can be a useful tool for dog owners to deter their dogs from injuring or killing a kiwi if they do get into areas where they live.
Lesely, a trained kiwi avoidance trainer, is coming to Russell to hold a workshop for the community. This will be on Saturday 26th July at the Russell Landcare Trust Depot – 43 Matauwhi Bay road.
This event is free of charge, but we would ask that everyone brings some koha as a thank you and to help pay for vehicle and ferry costs.
