We are Leighton & Mel! Colourful Caninies New Zealand or "CCNZ" is our locally run dog business based in Cambridge. We offer a wide range of services but focus on Dog Training & Pack Walks predominantly. Pack Walks
Our off lead walks are held at the 200 hectare farm we live on in Whitehall & our on lead walks are held at various bushland/reserve/park/urban locations around Waipa. We pick up & drop
off dogs in Newstead, South Hamilton, Tamahere, Matangi, Pukemore, Te Miro, Karapiro, Ohaupo, Cambridge & Whitehall areas for our popular off lead Pack Walks & on lead Pack Walks. These unique walks aim to enrich your dogs life with an opportunity to explore sights, smells, environments & pack social interaction they won't find anywhere else. Our off lead walks are for dogs who have mental or physical energy to burn, are reliable off lead & have a good ability to listen and stay engaged. Our on lead walks are for those dogs who are not quite at off lead level yet, or who need a more relaxed walk focused more on calm socialisation & sniffing their environment, while being ideal for dogs who have yet to learn how to walk well on the lead and stay engaged. A completed canine questionnaire is required prior to enrolment. Dog Training
We offer private behavioural training at your home, out with you on a walk/at a public location & at our hired training facility in Cambridge. These sessions cover everything including puppies, pulling on the lead, barking, destructive behaviours, over-excitement, anti-social & aggressive behaviours, reactivity, basic obedience, building engagement & many more. We run group classes at our hired facility that are designed to help you & your dog build confidence in each other through both positive & balanced training methods & always explain the 'why' so our owners have strong comprehension. We draw information from university learnings, updated research & daily hands-on experience to assess your dog, diagnose the issue, find the cause & help you on a path to success. Welcome to the pack!
