🐕‍🦺This is an interesting survey from Dogs Trust.

🐕‍🦺Do you think your dog should be able to interact with every dog they meet?

🐕‍🦺Or do you feel its safer and more responsible to keep your dog on the lead where there are other dogs?

🐕‍🦺A third of dog owners who participated in the survey said they were concerned about their dog being scared, or bitten and 21% said they purposefully avoid areas where other dogs might be.

🐕‍🦺With so many more pet dogs in communities, it's important to be courteous to others - 71% of survey respondents ( pretty high figures) said they thought it was right you should put your dog on a lead if another dog is coming towards you on the lead. Do you agree?

🐕‍🦺We deep dive a bit more into this subject in our article, which you can find in the comments below.👇

Although we humans might find this habit revolting, dogs just love nothing more than to roll in something nice and smelly! 🤥😵

This might be any rotting material, cow pats, or even dog p**p💩.

Most dog owners will say fox p**p is the absolute worst ! 🤢Yuk!

However, a dog’s odour is his calling card and whatever he chooses to roll in, is his preferred perfume.

Do you have a stinky pooch? - read our article for reasons why your dog might be smelly.

One of our Holidays4Dogs colleagues has just initiated a 'pink pooh' scheme with her local parish council. While walking her dog around the village, Andrea counted 8 piles of dog p**p around a small recreation field where children play football, people use an outdoor gym and where a pre-school is located. This, despite clear signs and free dog p**p bags in several dispensers located nearby.

This is a scheme to tackle dog fouling and it has been successful in several counties within the UK including - Chesire, Telford, South Lakes, Daventry, Denbighsire amongst many others.

The idea is to raise awareness, so that people can see the situation is being monitored. It also prevents people from stepping in it! In Cheshire, once the dog fouling has been logged and reported, they will clean up the area within 48 hours.

Have you ever been involved in a similar scheme, or do you think it would be a good idea to enourage your local council to set one up? Let us know in the comments.

What are your thoughts? 🤓

Do commercial dog walkers affect your local dog walks with their pack walking multiple numbers of dogs?

Can 6 dogs or more be controlled by any one person ALL of the time?
Can that person always pick up after 6+ dogs ALL of the time?

Yorkshire Agricultural Society say pets are being attacked by dogs being walked by professionals.
