Bird Aversion Training for Dogs - Free

Bird Aversion Training provided by Auckland Council
Friday 3rd April (Easter Friday)
Bird Aversion Training is taking place on Aotea Friday 3rd April (Easter Friday) in Okiwi, Okupu, Medlands and Tryphena. Bird Aversion Training can minimise the threat of dogs injuring or killing native birds. Like people, some dogs learn faster than others…
You can teach an old dog new tricks – but it may take a little longer, so even if your
dog has had training before, we encourage you to put them through again this session.
Details: Sunday 2nd November
9 – 10 AM at Whangapoua Campground
10.30-11.30 PM at Okupu Beach
