Owner Responsibilities

Reactivity is not accepted as a legal defence. As a dog owner, it is both your legal obligation and ethical responsibility to take appropriate steps to prevent risk and manage your dog’s behaviour effectively.
This includes:
•Keeping your dog on a lead at all times in public spaces.
•Using a muzzle when necessary - particularly if your dog poses a potential bite risk.
•Engage a qualified, experienced trainer or behaviourist to address the behaviour.
•Maintain a written training log to demonstrate proactive and responsible management.

Taking these measures shows that you are acting responsibly and doing everything reasonably possible to safeguard others - which may be essential in the event of a complaint or incident.

all dog owners - regardless of breed or size - are legally responsible for ensuring their dog is under control at all times, in both public and private spaces. This responsibility is especially important when managing reactive dogs, as their behaviour can quickly escalate into a legal matter if not properly addressed.

Under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, a dog does not need to bite or attack to be considered - “dangerously out of control.”
Behaviours such as lunging, growling, barking aggressively, or causing fear or distress may meet the legal threshold - even if no physical contact occurs.

While acorns and conkers are a seasonal snack for squirrels, they can be toxic to dogs.

Ingesting them may lead to serious health issues, including vomiting, diarrhoea, drooling, abdominal pain, lethargy and in some cases, dangerous intestinal blockages.

Many pet owners don’t realise the risks, especially during their Autumn walks. To keep your dog safe it is important to:

🍂 Supervise them closely outdoors
🍂Never encourage them to play with or fetch acorns or conkers
