Tried it but my home insurance went up

If you do through one of the doc days it's normally gold coin donation

or $20 or something tiny...

Think it cost $32.50 included having them Micro chip my dog @$12.50
Think TVDA are doing a Kiwi safe up at range in a couple of months time.
I went all the way to Long Bay coro town when I put my dog threw it.

Iv had my dog done here in Welly.
The local forest park trust pay it normally but last time it was $20
One of our local MP's fronted up to pay for 20 dogs as well

Done our two through DOC at Kaueranga Valley ,cost us nothing

Done mine on the island, cost me nothing

Had my GWP tested near Rotorua. $20. No problems.

Don't need to do it. My dog already hates kiwis.

What's involved in the training? My pup's only just gone 3 months old so too young to do it now, but definitely planning to do it in the future.

They put a shock collar on him and go for a walk, along the way there is a stuffed kiwi and heaps of kiwi shit. If the dog goes near or shows interest they zap it.

They have just started a new process, looks like a furry hat with prongs sticking out smells like kiwi/penguin what ever needee. When dog presses nose on electrodes it goes zap. Dogs were workingout when the collargoes on things are different

Sounds good, I got the pup done a month ago but the ranger reckoned he'd need it again in 6 months the new way sounds good. Are DOC adopting that method nationally?

No idea, we r leading the country on the island.... Mime got done the new way bout 2months ago
