Council concerned about dogs not under proper control.
The Hutt City Council is reminding dog owners to take more care in public.
"The weather has been outstanding recently and we love to see everyone enjoying it. Unfortunately, with more people out and about, we have had more frequent notifications about dogs not being kept under control.
In public places – such as beaches and bush tracks – all dogs must be leashed In designated dog exercise areas, if you are responsible for a dog, general consideration towards others – whether human or animal – must be taken. This could be done in many different ways depending on the behaviour and training of your dog e.g. a dog can be controlled by a leash, whistle, voice command or hand signal. The Dog Control Act 1996 – section 5 states under obligations of dog owners: every owner of a dog is required - (b) to ensure that the dog is kept under control, at all times (f) to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the dog does not injure, endanger, intimidate, or otherwise cause distress to any person."

Caroline Bartle, Ryman’s Dementia Care and Innovations Lead, says that using appropriate language when referring to people with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia can foster a more inclusive society. This not only benefits those experiencing cognitive decline but also their families and the wider community.
