why no dogs?
kiwi smell great to a dogKiwi have a strong musky scent which dogs find irresistible. It's like a musky ram. As they have no wishbone or flight muscles, kiwi have an extremely fragile rib cage and are killed by even the gentlest of dogs. Sometimes hunting dogs are lost in the bush or other dogs roam from nearby properties anti-kiwi training for dogsWe bring in special trainers who train dogs to be afraid of kiwi. They are given negative re-inforcement when they come near a stuffed kiwi. Contact us for more info. More on the DOC website. Leave dogs at home please - kiwi can sometime be found sleeping under the ferns beside a track, so they can even kill kiwi when on a leash. |
