Pukekohe dog trainer says: Know your dog's job before adopting them
Kia ora Neighbours,
Every dog has a job. Some were born to run for miles, and others were destined for a slightly slower life. Knowing what job your dog needs is key to keeping it - and your family - happy.
Dog trainer from Pukekohe, Alex Schanzer has spent his career watching mismatched dogs long for their forever home after being handed over to shelters by unhappy owners.
He said when people picked out dogs based on impulse, they ran into the problems of sustaining that dog’s best life, and it could end badly for everyone.

Purple Poppy Day Saturday 21st February
Thames Museum Te Whare Taonga o te Kauaeranga is delighted to be working with Thames RSA to hold our town’s first Purple Poppy Day on 21st February. Purple Poppy day is held throughout the Commonwealth to honour the animals that served and died during WWI and WWII and continue to serve in current conflicts.
Our inaugural Purple Poppy Day features creatures from glowworms and pigeons to camels and elephants.
The competition on the day, PEOPLE AND PETS WEAR PURPLE and/or KHAKI is a fun way to get involved, with lots of neat prizes.
PEOPLE AND PETS WEAR PURPLE and/or KHAKI will be held weather permitting. All other activities will take place inside the museum is the weather isn’t so good.
