The Ultimate Canines team
My dogs are all trained for tricks and agility using positive reinforcement, and anyone that knows dogs, Border collies in particular, knows that they require a huge amount of both mental and physical stimulation to keep them occupied and sane.
They don't do their tricks because they have to, instead they do them because they love to be out there keeping busy, learning new tricks and skills and getting rewarded for their efforts.
At home they live the sweet life, and are as much family members and pets as they are athletes and performers. They love nothing more than coming out when I mountain bike, take my motocross bike out, or the quad. If they're busy, they're happy! They were all bred on farms and work stock as well. You can take the dog off the farm, but you can't take the farm out of the dog!
Aside from performances doing their tricks, their main sideline is competing in agility all over the country. They also compete occasionally in sheepdog trials and will do more of this in the future.
Check out Team Cliffhanger for a list of their achievements, or Cliffhanger Kennels for more information on the dogs themselves.

DogMaster Trainers
Very excited to partner with DogMaster Trainers NZ. I have just got a Garmin PT10 collar for my old dog Quest, who at 14.5 years old is mostly deaf, and because of this, has lost a lot of her freedom when we go away on trips. We've resorted to keeping her on a retractable lead as a reliable recall is very ineffective when the dog can no longer hear it! She will be trained using positive reinforcement to return when we use the vibration mode on the collar, or the tone function. It also has 2 nice bright lights on the collar unit which you can operate from the remote. This will mean I can keep tabs on how far away she is, even at night, and know I have the means to communicate with her when she's out of hearing range. She will be stoked with the new plan! I also plan to train my pup and other dogs to recall to the vibrate function, so if/when they are hard of hearing they won't have to lose their freedom like Quest has til now.

Custom Built Transporters
"We have lived and breathed motocross and farming for years so we know what it takes to manufacture custom solutions that last. Now, we apply that experience and knowledge to a wide variety of trailers/transporters. Best of all, we make them look unreal! We are proud of our work and we love to see it touring around the country."
Based in Te Awamutu, CB Transporters can custom build whatever type of trailer you have in mind! The quality of these trailers and the workmanship is second to none. CB Transporters have just built us a superb 4 berth dog trailer and we couldn't be happier with it, custom made from the ground up and it's just awesome. They were excellent to deal with, from enquiring and answering all sorts of questions, through until the final build - and we can't recommend them enough!

The key to it all is keeping it simple but effective – taking ingredients already created by nature and blending them in a way that works best for your pet. You won’t find any synthetic nasties like parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances or colours in our range. All our products are proudly made right here in New Zealand using lots of good natural stuff. While we’re made for animals, we’re proud to say we test on humans first. So if you’re thinking “I could use this on myself” – you can. And we’re not just gentle on pets, but on our earth too. We take all that sustainability stuff very seriously and have a Chihuahua sized carbon footprint. All our packaging is as recyclable and / or as biodegradable as we can make it. Who else produces a litre of shampoo in a brown paper bag?
