[kat-the-dog-trainer]

So my dad is a farmer in NZ and has a team of work dogs. Something I noticed about their behavior was that one of the bitches, Spice, was the 'Top Dog'. She was a small border collie/heading dog and the rest were huntaways, all bigger than her, (& eventually another heading dog when Spice got to old to work). She would growl and snap at the other dogs when they got in her personal space when working or when they sat in her 'spot' on the flat deck of the truck or the dog trailer. (1/2)

(2/2) Although now I wonder if she wasn’t just defensive because she was an older dog & had to ‘defend’ her position as a working dog? (Dad got her when she was about 2) Idk, what do you think? She never showed any aggressive behavior toward people, and only toward other dogs in working environments, mostly after she was 'retired’. Dad still took her out, but she just watched. (We had to put her down due to age related health complications when she was about 13-14, about 5 years ago).

“”So this took forever to get around to, but there could have been a few things at work here:

Dominance (but not like you think)

With regard to the “Top Dog” situation, I think what you’re seeing is dominance in its true form. Whilst dominance as an inherent trait does not exist, dominance over resources does. So in this case that would be the flat deck and the dog trailer. They are resources your dog wants so she’ll try to steer other dogs away.

This doesn’t mean that she’s in control of all the other dogs there (alpha dogs don’t exist) or that she’s the “leader” or anything. Resource dominance is more like an argument. Like when you and your partner both want to watch different shows on TV: one of you will come out “dominant” (i.e. you’ll get to watch your show), but that doesn’t mean you’re in control of the relationship.

Dominance over high-value resources probably led to:

Resource Guarding 

For dogs who have a resource that is of high value to them (i.e. her spot) they can become overprotective of them. That’s when the aforementioned dominance becomes an issue - in the TV scenario, it would be the equivalent of me ALWAYS wanting to watch my show, my partner never gets to watch his, I might yell at him if he tries to change the channel.

Not super healthy. But in this case it could have been a case of the other dogs just going “okay jeez it’s yours” and not caused too many extra problems, provided she didn’t get too violent.

Which led to:

Negative Associations

You say she was great around people and just didn’t like other working dogs. My first thought, considering the above points, is that it’s because of those prior experiences. Humans weren’t ever trying to take her resources - other dogs were. Specifically other working dogs. 

So even if those dogs got into her personal bubble, she’d probably snap at them, because of those negative experiences earlier. It COULD have gone the other way around, too - negative experiences with those dogs made her more protective of her resources and caused the guarding issues. Hard to tell. But at some point I’d say there was definitely a negative experience (i.e. another dog got in her space and she didn’t like it) which was fixed by snapping at the other dog (a fairly normal reaction for a stressed dog), which then worked (other dog went away), and set the course for her later reactions.

And the final thing at play here, I think, is just behavioural predispositions. Remember that dogs will do what works. If growling/snapping has kept the other dogs away, then she’ll do it next time. The longer she does it, the more it’s reinforced and the more it can escalate (might be one reason why it got worse as she was older). And I think you’re right about her feeling vulnerable as an older dog - if she’s already not too keen on the younger rapscallions, and she’s feeling vulnerable (not as fast as them, not as energetic, maybe starting to get joint aches, etc), then she’ll react more violently.

It’s an interesting one with a few things at play. And this is just my guess, keep in mind. Also, it’s good to hear she lived quite a long life!

We had a great nights sleep on the boat - could have been the fresh air and good wine! We were already awake when they switched the generator back on at 6am, but we got out of bed then. We quickly dressed and grabbed our warm coats and headed up to the galley for coffee, where we found most of our group already. It was still dark outside, but we were underway already, cruising from where we were moored overnight to the mouth of the sound. Breakfast was a fruit and cereal buffet, followed by a huge plated meal again: eggs, three types of meat, roasted tomatoes and potatoes. Too much food. We ate quickly as we were anxious to get out onto the deck. Our first stop was under a waterfall, where they did a "maid of the mist" moment like Niagara Falls and stuck the bow of the boat into the waterfall. One guy had donned his yellow slicker and he was up front being doused! It was chilly, but I was ok in my light down jacket with my rain parka over that. I also had light gloves, but they quickly got wet from the handrails on deck so they weren't so effective. We kept motoring along towards the Tasman Sea, the views on either side just breathtaking - countless waterfalls and rows and rows of cliff and mountains. Many times, you could see the pool where the water collected on the cliff before spilling down - those are the amazing views that you'd need a helicopter to see, but it was neat that we'd seen that in action yesterday when we hiked to Key Summit and found a pool up there. The day dawned and we all just quietly soaked up the majesty of the moment. Jeff and I went into the bridge for a bit, it was nice to duck inside and learn more about the boat from the captain. It was built in 1990, and renovated 5 years ago. They do several day trips, then the overnights like we did. The crew works 7 days on, and 7 days off. They seemed to be a competent, happy bunch. In the winter, they use these boats to do cruises that last several days - into the sea and down the coast to Doubtful Sound. As we got to the mouth of the sound, we began to feel the swells of the sea. I thought it was great fun! It was so beautiful to look at the coastline from the sea. It was impossible to even see the opening of the sound! How would explorers even find that? They had to be in a smaller boat just checking out every individual cove. While we were still on the sea, the clouds descended quickly and what was mist turned to real rain. We retreated to the bridge again for a bit, and then to the galley for some hot tea. After a bit, we went back outside even though it was still lightly raining - it was just too awesome to stay inside. On the way back in, we passed a rock where a few seals were hauled out - sleeping and scratching. The captain said they spend their days sleeping and feed at night, so cool that we saw that in action last night! We also came upon a pod of dolphins - they swam along with us for a bit, playing in the bow wake. We docked around 9am, and Bas was there waiting for us. We climbed into the van and settled in for the long drive through the tunnel back to Te Anau. It was a very quiet group, most everyone sleeping. Jeff was sleeping so soundly that when the van would lurch around the corner he'd squash me, then when we had a turn in the other direction I'd push him back over the other way! We arrived back at the Te Anau hotel where we'd left the trailer. We had some time to organize our bags, suck some WiFi, changes clothes, shop, etc. then we gathered for an amazing lunch of soup and salads at Olives. Even though I hadn't been cold on the boat, it took me until after lunch to shake the chill of the morning! After lunch we set out for a 2.5 hour hike on a piece of the third NZ walk: The Kelper Track. We hiked along a beautiful river (Grebe?) - and it was mostly flat, with a very soft surface. Jeff and I lagged back - I'd combined my backpacks without thinking about the hike and my pack was pretty heavy, but I liked the extra challenge (have to burn off some of these calories too). It was great to walk our own pace and chat with Sandra. At the end of the hike, another swinging bridge, but no where near as scary as what I'd expected to be crossing here! Bas was waiting for us, and we settled back into the van for a two hour drive back to Queenstown. As the crow flies, Queenstown is not very far from Milford Sound. But they're serious mountains in between there and roads haven't been developed, which I think is pretty cool and what makes visiting New Zealand amazing. We're at the Blue Peaks motel for two nights. Nothing glamorous, but a great little hike into town, kitchenettes and laundry on site. Quick showers and back in the van for a quick town tour and drive to our restaurant for tonight - a great Italian place "V Know," with Denny, a friendly proprietor. Ironically, Rita in her pre-trip research had learned about this restaurant and had booked reservations here for our free night tomorrow! Another night of a wonderful three course meal, then going to bed with full bellies!

If you've ever found yourself in a similar situation, then tandem axle trailers just might be the solution you've been searching for.

 In this blog post, we'll dive into the world of tandem axle trailers, exploring their benefits, considerations when choosing one, and maintenance tips to keep them running smoothly. So buckle up and get ready to learn everything you need to know about tandem axle trailers!

What Are Tandem Axle Trailers?

Tandem axle trailers are a type of trailer that feature two axles instead of the traditional single axle setup. These axles are positioned in close proximity to each other, spaced apart by a specific distance. The primary advantage of tandem axles is that they offer improved stability and weight distribution compared to their single axle counterparts.

Benefits of Tandem Axle Trailers:

Enhanced Stability

One of the key advantages of tandem axle trailers is their enhanced stability. Having two axles, positioned closer to each other, increases the trailer's overall stability during towing. This stability becomes particularly crucial when facing high-speed driving situations, such as highway travel, or when navigating tight turns. With a tandem axle trailer, you can have peace of mind knowing that your cargo will remain secure and well-balanced throughout the journey.

Increased Weight Capacity

Tandem axle trailers also offer increased weight capacity compared to single axle trailers. The presence of two axles allows for a higher payload, making them suitable for transporting heavier loads. However, it is important to note that adhering to weight limits and regulations is crucial to ensure safe and legal towing. Always check the specific weight ratings of your trailer and follow them diligently to avoid putting unnecessary strain on your vehicle and compromising safety.

Improved Load Distribution

Proper load distribution is essential for safe and balanced towing. Tandem axle trailers excel in this aspect due to the presence of two axles. The weight of the cargo is spread evenly across the trailer, reducing the strain on individual components and minimizing the risk of sway or imbalance. This even distribution of the load not only enhances safety but also contributes to a more comfortable and controlled towing experience.

Considerations When Choosing a Tandem Axle Trailer:

Size and Configuration

When selecting a tandem axle trailer, it is important to consider the size and configuration that best suits your needs. Tandem axle trailers come in various sizes and configurations, each offering different cargo capacity, trailer length, and overall dimensions. Assess the specific requirements of your hauling tasks and choose a trailer that can accommodate them comfortably.

Durability and Construction Materials

The durability of a tandem axle trailer is largely determined by its construction materials. Common materials used in tandem axle trailers include steel and aluminum. Steel is known for its strength and ruggedness, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications. On the other hand, aluminum offers a lightweight alternative that is resistant to corrosion. Consider the pros and cons of each material choice, balancing factors such as strength, weight, and longevity to find the right fit for your needs.

Trailer Braking System

An efficient braking system is paramount for safe towing. When choosing a tandem axle trailer, pay close attention to its braking system. Electric brakes and hydraulic brakes are two commonly used systems. Electric brakes rely on an electrical connection between the trailer and the towing vehicle, while hydraulic brakes use a hydraulic fluid to engage the trailer brakes.

Single Axle Vs. Dual Axle: Which Trailer Type Ensures Better Fuel Efficiency?

When it comes to hitting the road with your trailer in tow, fuel efficiency is a concern that can't be ignored. Whether you're a seasoned traveller or just embarking on your first adventure, understanding the nuances of single axle trailers NZ versus dual axle trailers can have a significant impact on your journey's cost-effectiveness. 

In this post, we'll dive into the world of trailer axles and explore which type might offer you better fuel efficiency for your travels.

Decoding the Axle Dilemma

Before we delve into fuel efficiency, let's clarify the difference between single and dual axle trailers. A single axle trailer has only one set of wheels, while a dual axle trailer boasts two sets. This fundamental distinction lays the groundwork for various aspects of towing, including stability, weight distribution, and, of course, fuel consumption.

Fuel Efficiency: A Closer Look

Single Axle Trailers: The Leaner Option

When it comes to fuel efficiency, single axle trailers NZ often come out ahead, and here's why. Their design involves fewer wheels, resulting in less rolling resistance on the road. This means that your towing vehicle has to work less to pull the trailer forward, ultimately translating into potential fuel savings. The streamlined nature of a single axle setup reduces drag, making it an appealing choice for those seeking to minimise their fuel expenses.

Dual Axle Trailers: Balancing Act

On the flip side, dual axle trailers offer certain advantages that might make you rethink their fuel efficiency implications. While they may incur slightly higher rolling resistance due to the additional set of wheels, they shine when it comes to weight distribution. The presence of two axles better disperses the load, reducing the strain on your towing vehicle's suspension and tires. This improved weight distribution can contribute to a more stable and controlled towing experience, particularly with heavier loads.

Factors Influencing the Equation

As you weigh the pros and cons of single axle trailers versus dual axle trailers, remember that fuel efficiency isn't solely determined by the number of axles. Several other factors come into play, such as trailer design, aerodynamics, and driving habits.

Trailer Design: The overall design of the trailer, including its shape and size, can impact how it interacts with the air while in motion. Aerodynamic trailers are more likely to cut through the wind with less resistance, contributing to improved fuel efficiency.

Load Weight: The weight you're towing plays a significant role in fuel consumption. While dual axle trailers might have an edge in distributing heavy loads, a well-balanced single axle trailer can still offer commendable fuel efficiency, especially for lighter loads.

Tire Pressure: Properly inflated tires reduce rolling resistance and can positively affect fuel efficiency for both types of trailers. Regularly check and maintain your tire pressure to ensure optimal performance.

Choosing Wisely for Your Journey

In the debate of single axle trailers versus dual axle trailers, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. Your choice should align with your specific needs and priorities. If you're all about squeezing the most miles out of every gallon, a well-maintained, aerodynamic single axle trailer might be your go-to. 

On the other hand, if you're hauling substantial loads and prioritise stability, a dual axle trailer could be the way to go.

Ultimately, the best approach is to carefully assess your travel habits, towing requirements, and budget constraints. Don't forget to consider the broader picture, including maintenance costs, towing vehicle capabilities, and safety considerations.

Conclusion

In the ongoing quest for better fuel efficiency, the decision between single axle trailers NZ and dual axle trailers adds another layer of complexity. While single axle setups typically offer superior fuel economy due to reduced rolling resistance, dual axle trailers shine in terms of weight distribution and stability. 

Remember that the ultimate fuel savings depend on a combination of factors beyond just the number of axles. 

So, take the time to evaluate your individual needs, and whether you're cruising down the highway with one axle or two, may your journeys be efficient and your adventures endless!

Towing Tips for a Single Axle Tipping Trailer

 When towing a single axle tipping trailer, it is important to follow these towing tips:

Follow the weight limits and restrictions of the road you are travelling on. 

Keep your speed low when towing a tipping trailer. 

Use a tow bar that is long enough to reach the trailer hitch. 

Always use caution when approaching or passing other vehicles, and be sure to use your mirrors and turn your head while driving so you can see behind you. 

Make sure the brakes are fully applied before stopping, and be prepared to brake quickly if needed. 

Check the oil level and replace any oil that has become dirty or contaminated with engine coolant or water spots every 3,000 miles or as required by the manufacturer’s recommendations. 

Replace air filters according to the manufacturer’s recommendations at least once a year or as required by law in your area.

Storage Tips for a Single Axle Tipping Trailer

When it comes to storage for your single axle tipping trailer, there are a few key things to keep in mind. 

 One important tip is to make sure the trailer is kept as level as possible. This will help to prevent warping and other damage that can occur over time. 

 Another key consideration is to keep the trailer clean and free of dust and debris. These elements can quickly build up over time, causing the trailer to become unsafe and difficult to operate. 

Be sure to regularly check the brakes and axles on your trailer. If they are in need of replacement or repair, do not wait – doing so may put you at risk of injuring yourself or damaging property.

Maintenance Tips for a Single Axle Tipping Trailer

When owning and maintaining a single axle tipping trailer, there are a few general maintenance tips that can help prolong its life. First and foremost, keeping the trailer clean is essential to preventing damage and ensuring proper function. Regularly cleaning the undercarriage, wheel wells, and other areas where dirt and debris can accumulate will help prevent rusting and corrosion.

 Another key element of trailer maintenance is ensuring that all bolts, screws, and fasteners are properly tightened. Over time, loose connections can cause the trailer to become unstable or even collapse. By taking the time to tighten all of the necessary components, you can avoid any problems down the road.

 In addition to proper maintenance, it is also important to keep an eye on your trailer's weight distribution. When the weight is distributed evenly across both axles, the trailer will be more stable and less likely to tip over. By balancing out the load occasionally with a tow vehicle or another tipping trailer, you can ensure long-term stability for your single axle tipping trailer.

Conclusion

If you're looking to keep your trailer in top condition and ensure that it lasts as long as possible, then read on for our top tips. Not only will you be able to extend the lifespan of your trailer, but you will also be able to reduce the cost of repairs and maintenance in the future. Follow these simple steps, and your trailer will thank you!

Why Consider Single Axle Trailers for Your Adventures?

A single axle trailer is one of the most popular types of vehicles used for transporting goods and materials. They are often used by businesses who want to reduce their costs or save space in their fleet. Single axle trailers for sale offer low-cost ownership compared to other types of trailers because they don't require a second axle or wheels to operate.

This results in less maintenance required over time which allows you to use this type of trailer longer before having to replace it with something more expensive or larger size than needed initially.

Manoeuvrability and Versatility

Single axle trailers are more manoeuvrable than tandem axle trailers. This means that you can use a single axle trailer for a wider range of applications, including off-road and rough terrain.

Single axle trailers also offer improved storage space compared to tandem axles. The extra length of a single axle trailer makes it easier to store items such as bicycles or lawn equipment when not in use, which is why many people choose single axle trailers for sale for their adventures!

Affordability and Cost-Efficiency

Single axle trailers are more affordable and cost-efficient than their two axle counterparts. They are easier to maintain, store, and transport.

Single axle trailers have one frame while two-axle trailers have two frames. This means that single axle trailers do not require a lot of space for storage like the larger models do because there’s only one frame rather than two frames on each side of it (one for each wheel).

Additionally, single axle trailer owners don’t need to pay for extra parts such as shocks or springs since these components can be replaced by themselves with ease!

Accessibility to Smaller Vehicles

Single axle trailers are easy to tow, park and manoeuvre. They are also easier to store than double axel models – especially if you have a small vehicle that doesn’t require a lot of space on the trailer.

Single axle trailers can be easily towed behind most cars and trucks (including SUVs). However, they must be lifted onto the car using jack stands or ramps when being hauled by larger vehicles over uneven surfaces such as sand or mud.

Easy Maintenance and Storage

The single axle design is an advantage to the user because it allows for easy maintenance and storage. In addition to the ease of maintenance, a single axle trailer can be stored in a smaller amount of space compared to two-axle trailers.

A dual-axle trailer requires more space than a one-axle model, which makes them harder to store or move around when not in use.

The single axle design also makes moving your new cargo trailer much easier than trying to pull it by hand alone—especially if you've got multiple friends helping out!

Conclusion

If you are looking to add a new vehicle to your fleet, then consider the benefits of a single axle trailer. These single axle trailers for sale offer manoeuvrability and versatility due to their lightweight design which makes them easy to push or pull through rough terrain.

They also have an affordable price tag which makes them cost efficient compared with larger vehicles like trucks or buses that require more maintenance upkeep costs over time due to wear and tear on parts like tires, axles (which should be replaced regularly) etc.
