In Auckland we don’t need to worry about dogs attacking kiwi, but dog behaviour still needs to be managed.
This is particularly true on beaches where shorebirds feed up for long migrations. The presence of a dog scatters the birds and limits their fattening up potential. The Department of Conservation has some good general advice on dog control.
Auckland Council manages dogs on its land through the Dog Management Bylaw. You can also Find where and when you can walk your dog.
