Ministry for Primary Industries

Pat from Karori

Can you read the tell-tail signs? 🐕 🐩 🐶
Is your dog anxious about new spaces? Can you tell if a strange dog is safe to pat? New Zealanders love animals, and are proud to be in a country that boasts one of the highest rates of pet ownership in the world (we have more pets than people!). With all these doggos and puppers about, it pays to be familiar with canine communication. The online Dog Safe Workplace course is set up to provide the skills to gain confidence, awareness, and, improve interaction with our canine friends. Designed to be suitable for everyone including dog lovers, dog owners, people working in the pet industry, and people whose job brings them in contact with dogs such as meter readers. It’s a tool to build confidence in people nervous about interacting with dogs, and you’ll get a certificate on completion.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
