Auckland Council proposing dog-free areas in parks

From Checkpoint, 4:21 pm today

Dog owners are chewing over a proposal that would see significant changes to Auckland dog walking rules. Auckland Council is recommending some areas in 14 regional parks and 64 local parks become completely dog-free, as well as creating new off-leash areas. The changes could also see further restrictions on dogs running free on beaches. Dog Owner and social scientist Marie McEntee spoke to Lisa Owen.
