You can walk your dog on-leash almost anywhere in Wellington City. In the city centre, you're welcome to walk your dogs on-leash at all times of the day throughout the year. You must not leave your dog unattended in any public place.
When exercising your dog off-leash, you must maintain control over your dog at all times. Be alert and make sure that your dog isn't behaving aggressively towards other dogs or people. You're responsible for cleaning up after your dog.
