🤝 WORKING TOGETHER FOR A SAFER COMMUNITY
We must all take responsibility to ensure our neighbourhood is safe, respectful, and peaceful.
🚨 Control your dog. Protect your community. Stay safe.
 It’s an offence to let a dog be dangerously out of control whether that’s in public or private. A dog is considered to be out of control if it: - injures someone
- makes someone worried that it might injure them
A court could also decide that your dog is dangerously out of control if: - it attacks someone’s animal
- the owner of an animal thinks they could be injured if they tried to stop your dog attacking their animal
In the UK, it's against the law to own certain types of dogs and this is dependent on what it looks like, rather than its breed or name. If you see a dog loose or if you think someone has and/or is breeding banned dogs, please report this online. If the dog seems to be out of control, let us know by calling 101.
