Rewarding our community for DO-DOing the Right Thing
AlburyCity has launched a new initiative that encourages the right behaviour in picking up after their pooch! 'DO-DO the Right Thing' was borne from a desire to keep our shared public spaces clean, tidy and safe for all users, whether you own a pet or not.
AlburyCity has also experienced an increased number of complaints from community members about unattended doggy doo in recent times.
Picking up after your dog is important to:
- keep our city clean
- reduce bad smells, and
- make sure other people aren't accidentally stepping in your dog's business.
It also reduces the risk of pests, parasites and diseases being spread to our wild species and even humans, and protects our natural areas from pollution and disease.
“I hope the 'DO-DO the Right Thing' initiative is a reminder to dog owners to take a doggy bag with them whenever they take their best mate out for a walk.” — Councillor Kylie King
