WALKING DOGS ON A LEAD

WALKING DOGS ON A LEAD

PLEASE BE MINDFUL THIS TIME OF YEAR TO ALWAYS WALK YOUR DOG ON A LEAD. ITS A BUSY TIME OF YEAR FOR OUR FARMERS, PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL WHEN WALKING ON THEIR LAND AND NEAR TO THEIR LAND.

OUR DOGS ARE PART OF OUR FAMILY, WE ALL KNOW THE TEMPERAMENT OF OUR DOGS AND THINK THAT OUR DOGS WOULDN'T HARM ANY OTHER ANIMAL, HOWEVER OUR DOGS MIGHT WANT TO PLAY WITH THE SHEEP BUT SHEEP DO NOT WANT TO PLAY WITH DOGS. THE SHEEP CAN BECOME STRESSED IF A DOG CHASES THEM, IT COULD LEAD TO THE MISCARRIAGE OF A LAMB OR SHOCKING THE ANIMAL. PLEASE:

KEEP YOUR DOG ON A LEAD NEAR LIVESTOCK AND WILDLIFE

BAG AND BIN YOUR DOG POO

STICK TO MARKED FOOTPATHS TO AVOID DISTURBING GROUND-NESTING BIRDS

DOGS KILL LIVESTOCK - YOU MAY BE PROSECUTED IF YOUR PET ATTACKS LIVESTOCK
