How to be a responsible dog owner in off-leash areas Always have effective control of your dog so you can recall with voice or hand commands. Maintain constant sight and monitor your dog’s behaviour and restrain, if necessary. Leash your dog within 20 metres of an area being used for organised sport including training, playgrounds, barbeques, picnic areas and on-leash signed areas. Clean up after your dog immediately: scoop the poop and put in a bin (leaving a waste bag on the ground is a no-no) Ensure your dog doesn’t damage sportsground turf by digging.
