TRAINING

 

I have always been involved with dogs as I was raised on a dairy / sheep farm. I purchased my first German Shepherd in 1972; by 1974 he was titled 'Companion dog Excellent' and was a top obedience dog in his time. 

 
From the age of 14 I was an obedience instructor with the North Taranaki Obedience Club and also trained with dogs for the Police Force and for Search and Rescue.
 
As well as training and handling dogs for obedience, agility, trials and tracking, I also compete in the conformation ring, and regularly travel throughout New Zealand, as well as visiting and attending shows in both Australia and Germany.
 
At the end of the day, what is of the most importance to me is to teach people how to handle and raise their dogs correctly and to understand the meaning of dog ownership.
 
With over 30 years experience of owning, handling, and training dogs in all disciplines, Hanshi Kennels are well equipped to offer training or advice for any dog related hobbies or problems.
 
We can  help with training for obedience, the conformation ring, agility, trials, or any behaviour problems that may crop up, including barking, aggression, submissive behaviour, etc.  For absolutely anything dog related, we are here to help you.
 
We can also help people wishing to mate their bitch, with whelping their bitch; with any aspect of dog ownership.
 
We are always here, offering friendly, professional advice, and the keeping and treatment of any dogs under our care is of utmost importance to us.
