A proposed shake-up of dog rules in Auckland has caused sharp backlash amongst some in the community

Auckland Council has been accused of overreacting after proposing to change some off-leash areas and limit the number of dogs being walked by a person at any one time to six.

Flip Calkoen has been training dogs since 1978 and shares whether Auckland Council has got the balance right.
