Our dogs getting trained by the best

Last month Customs detector dog teams recently joined 17 fellow agencies for dog training workshops in Trentham, Wellington.

The workshops were conducted by internationally recognised police dog trainer, Dick Staal, and covered detection, puppy development, and tracking. This was an amazing opportunity for Customs to be able to share and have discussions about our dog training programmes, as well as network, make new connections and build relationships.
