I think Nina just means she can't name them off hand, I have also heard of councils trying to bring in local by-laws preventing dogs off lead, however I have also heard of the locals getting together to say they have been exercising their dogs in an area for X amount of years, and that this over-rules, however that may just be an urban myth, I base it on no evidence just gossip.

Re: Dangerous dog regulations!

In and around Leeds already have restricted areas where dogs have to be kept on a leash the sign also states the amount of the fine. There are areas where dogs can be exercised off the leash and it is currently be reviewed whereby owners can only walk a maximum of four dogs and can only have two dogs off the leash at any one time. Dogs are prohibited from children's play areas.

Bolton is another area where dogs have to be kept on the leash a member of this forum mentioned it, the member also mentioned it isn't working because a loose dog came running to her and I think her dog. Sorry I can't remember the name of the member.

Some dog owners are not abiding by these signs and as complaints grow I can see a time in the not too distant future where all dogs must be kept on a leash in public areas.

Every dog I saw in Pocklington (4) within a few minutes of each other were muzzled, now that baffled me, not sure if thats a bye law or they have a lot of aggressive dogs. I am not getting mixed up with the training halti type leads these were full muzzles.

National Trust areas require dogs to be kept on a leash some throughout the year and others during certain times of the year to protect wildlife.

Re: Dangerous dog regulations!

Glad I don't live there!

Fair enough having areas where dogs have to be kept on lead. But there should also always be places you can let your dog off!!!

Laws foribiding you to let your dog off the lead anywhere would be a violation of animal rights!

Re: Dangerous dog regulations!

In the States, they have secure dog parks, where people and their dogs can go to socialise and allow their dogs off lead.

Personally, I would never visit these areas, but if they are introduced here and a fight ensues, or a dog owner get hurt, it will not affect innocent bystanders, children, or people who wish to keep their dogs safe from other dog attacks. Perhaps this is the answer!

Oh and to be honest I did not note the areas of the country who have banned dogs off leash. I am sure however, that a quick google search will throw up the names.
