Animal Control.

Maataa Waka is responsible for delivering the animal control service to Marlborough on behalf of the Marlborough District Council.

Animal Control.

The service primarily involves dealing with complaints about dog nuisances and attacks and ensuring that all dogs are correctly registered. There is also a strong education focus. Currently Marlborough has approximately 10,000 registered dogs, the majority of which are non-working dogs. Animal Control is a 24/7 callout service.

Dog Safety School and Community Programme.

It takes about 45 minutes and has proved really popular within the schools.

Every child who participates will receive a certificate and a take home booklet to share what they have learnt with their families. Teacher resource packs are also available for follow up material after our visit. This is an important learning opportunity to keep out children safe around dogs.
