The Forest Bridge Trust is offering free kiwi avoidance training sessions to Rodney dog owners, which are being funded by Rodney Local Board.
In particular, people who own dogs and live in areas known to be home to kiwi encouraged to attend.
The trust says the aim of the sessions is to help protect growing kiwi populations in the area and they are open to pet dogs, working dogs and hunting dogs.
“Our trainer will guide you and your dog through a free 10-minute e-collar session to teach kiwi scent avoidance. While training is a valuable tool, it’s not foolproof. We recommend that all dogs entering areas known to be home to kiwi remain on a leash at all times.”

Session locations and times: Glorit Memorial Hall – Saturday, March 8, from 9am to 3:30pm. Morris & James Pottery, Matakana – Saturday, March 15, from 9am 3.30pm.
