The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning is behind a series of workshops aimed at helping control wild dogs.

Wild dogs continue to cause stock losses in the region, and workshops are to be held to give land owners a chance to have input, and receive the latest information on their control.

Measures can include improved fencing to help protect stock, as well as trapping, baiting and shooting the dogs.

In the North East there are several locations where the meetings will be held:
