Walking your dogs near cliffs and mountains can be really risky. Dogs are naturally curious and might not realise how dangerous it is to go too close to the edge. They could easily slip or be blown over by a strong gust of wind. Steep drops are a serious danger for both you and your dog. Even if your dog is well-trained, they could get scared by wildlife or too excited and dash towards the edge before you have a chance to stop them. Loose rocks and uneven ground make slips and falls more likely. Lucky it was a happy ending for this dog but so many incidents end in tragedy.
Keep you dog safe by staying away from the cliff edges....

Dogs running through crop fields can cause significant damage. You should either keep your dogs on a lead and away from the fields or train them to stick to the footpath to prevent trampling. Responsible ownership means respecting farmland and adhering to the Countryside Code.
