Whangarei Public Dog Park re-opens 8am 29-05-2019

Tony from Onerahi

The dog park opens tomorrow at 8am.

Many people saying their dogs are missing the dog park, and it's very sociable for the dog owners.

The council doesn't want an large opening "just unlock" the gate. After spending $250.000.00 of rate payers money for the upgrade?

Personally I cant see why so much $$ with still many faults, like open drains that will have people tripping, and possibility of dogs tripping also.
Other agility equipment.
The public has missed an opportunity for input because council wouldn't accept advice from someone who knows dogs. I have trained dogs for over thirty years. And listen to the dog park community.

Tony Gill will be doing dog training lessons at the dog park. In groups or one on one. The important is having control over your dog. Dogs don't have to be robots . Check for new dates for lessons soon.

Thanks Tony Gill
