The fenced-off areas could be introduced in Jersey and the plans have prompted mixed reactions from Guernsey officials.

Dog owners at Saumarez Park seemed to think the success of such a plan would be dependent on the dog owners themselves.

Reaction to the idea was mixed.

‘I’m all for it, but the dogs off leads need to be social,’ said professional dog walker Marina Burr, 49.

‘Designated areas would put the onus more on the dog owners to clean up after their dogs I think.'
