Thread: recommendations on a private block in Waikato/BOP - training my pup

I'd recommend lots of training at home and local parks and plenty more hunting in the kaimais best of luck mate

Yeah was told the same thing by a friend who had trained a few dogs. Said if anything it is a hindrance as dog gets confused. Stick at it in the kaimais
