Situated in Port
Elizabeth, South Africa, Mackland strives to find the perfect
balance between conformation, companionship and the ultimate
performance dog! My dogs all have succeeded in multiple disciplines
- such as Agility, Dog Jumping, Obedience, Working trials, Flyball,
Carting and Conformation/ Breed. After struggling with conventional
methods for a few years, alternate means of training were
investigated. The positive reinforcement method took my fancy, and
I began rewarding for good behaviour. Clicker training was
added to the training programme, and suddenly we had a recipe for
success..! I strive to create drive in my dogs, through play and
reward, and my ambition is to maintain a good ranking in Agility in
South Africa at all times, and to preserve a working bond with each
of my dogs.
Initially formed for my working dogs that
were not bred for the breed ring, but rather for obedience,
or farm work, my family grew to include
dogs from top conformation lines, while still maintaining an
exceptional working ability. Please feel free to
contact me. I can refer you to a breeder or trainer if I am unable to help you. |
