Wellington City Council is looking to shake up rules for dogs in the Capital.

An upcoming proposal could soon be up for public consultation on letting dogs off leads in nine more areas.

On the less paw-sitive side- it would introduce a $300 fine for owners who don't carry waste bags.

Councillor Teri O'Neill says they'll check out areas where people have been repeatedly offending.

"We're going to send some dog control officers out to approach owners and see if they've got a bag."
