    Default Dog Parks in New Zealand?

    I know that this sounds a little odd but do they happen to have dog parks in New Zealand? My "Sam" is a very social dog.

    And I always take him over to parks to meet other dogs.

    What about leash laws?

    Poop Laws....curb your pet laws?

    If anyone knows, just a little curious

    Not odd at all, I find it odder the other dog owners who stick their dog on a lead as soon as they see another dog. Why, it only makes their dog more anxious when its tied up? Let them socialise

    Chch has parks click here. More Chch dog info here. Don't know about elsewhere.

    Where are you headed, maybe my Diesel can sniff your Sam's butt one day

    Depending on your planned council area, check out their websites, and you will find a section on dog control, or dog registration and this will tell you where you can exercise you dog, on or off leash, it also varies depending on season, ie in summer they cannot go on certain bits of beaches during the day, but in winter they can.


    Also you do have to "scoop the poop" although like with everything else, there are people that dont, I have seen a couple of delightful presents on peoples front lawns, I am mortified if our dog does something in front of someones house, even though i do pick it up.


    Remember you also need to register your furry friend with the council too, for a fee, and you get a collar tag for them.
