Canines of all kinds showed off their talents at the annual Doggy Day Out in Katikati.
In between the barking, ferocious tail wagging and butt sniffing the dogs took part in several competitions including best dressed, talent show, and the 'sausage challenge'.
Dogs big and small impressed onlookers with their discipline by not eating a tasty morsel of sausage sitting in front of them until they were given the all-go.
While most dogs could not resist the sausage despite their owners' pleading and leash tugging, several of the pups ignored the sausage until their owners gave them the all-clear.
The talent show was the real display of ability as dogs showed off their sitting, jumping, laying and hand-shaking on command.
