  Hi Helen,
  I'm afraid this project has taken a back seat for the Trust for now while I focus on fundraising, but you could try Dr Euan Kennedy (DOC Christchurch) and Lionel Solly (DOC Nelson) who are both trialling or preparing to trial the CBSM method. Lionel has written a great report including applying the CBSM structure to dog owner behaviour. (see docdm 1340207 and have a chat to him!).
  all the best, and let me know how you get on

  PS great to see sustainability in the DG's top 5 priorities!

  Thank you Alice!
  That makes lots of sense and in fact we have tried teaming up with our local animal protection agency, the SPCA, for one awareness event and we see lots of potential to do more with them. They also manage dog control for the Local Authority, so they're a perfect partner.
  I'm also keen to find out if anyone has used the CBSM 5 step tool to better understand why people allow their dogs to roam and what they did to manage it where it was an issue.
  Thank you again
  Inger

  Dogs pose a considerable risk to birds such as penguins and kiwi in New Zealand. There have been many instances of birds being killed and occasionally there has been a massacre of a large number of these precious birds by one or two dogs. Often the problem is not that the dogs are out with owners and off the leash but that the dogs are allowed to roam from the property and owners have no notion of where their dogs may be or what they may be doing.
  For some owners, sadly, they see this as their absolute right.
  Within the CBSM fora there is some discussion of keeping dogs on a leash in conservation areas and of dealing with pet waste, but I'd be very interested to learn about any projects that have addressed the issue of keeping dogs contained on private property.
  Also, if there have been any more projects to keep dogs on a leash, without the need for enforcement staff to conduct patrols, I'd love to hear about them.
  Thank you!
