law regarding dogs?

Ive just had a new neighbour telling me that my dog should always be on a lead - that its the law.
Now I was under the impression that a dog should always be under control, not necessarily on the lead. Does anyone know?

I don't know about fields or parks etc, I know we always let our dog off and no one cares
It's a shame they dont have so many rules and regulations about the owners of some dogs.
Then when there was a bit of thunder later, Millie moo was desperatly trying to hide behind their printer, but couldnt, so curled up behind the toilet shaking.
dangerous dog - me thinks not.
Shes only about half the size of a normal staffie though and not nearly as broad.
Good for him but they are still vicious dogs because they were trained to be and he wonders why I drag Archie into the house everytime they're out.
When my parents first moved here and the old neighbours were still here - one of the springers that they had then used to sneak onto their garden, nick her bras and run around with them on her face!
Ex fighting dogs won't necessarally be any threat to people any way. My mate has one and it's lovely with people, but can be a problem with other dogs and animals.
1. That's because it should. Even if you don't legally have to, it's just good manners and common decency.
2. When it hurts someone and they take you to court over it will be your problem.
:mad:
I never thought it was impolite to have a well behaved dog off a lead and walking with its owner - I think thats lovely actually.
Is it fuck.
You mean 'if' not 'when'.
The point is dogs don't have to be on the lead at all times, and shouldn't be made to simply because a few people have an irrational fear of dogs.
I live in the New Forest where there's a large number of different wild and quite potentially dangerous animals. I still get cunts coming up to me telling my dog should be on a lead. I've had rows with people on a number of occasions over it.
If the dog cannot be trusted to leave people alone, then it should be on a lead. And I don't even mean attacking- why should I have to put up with some stupid dog dribbling all over my clothes? It's not my dog.
Dogs that can't behave should be on leads. Dogs should always be on leads around livestock, and I fully support the right of farmers to shoot dogs that are worrying livestock because of their stupid owners.
I'm talking about walking the dog on the Forest or in a large park. Not down the high street or through the market.
That goes without saying - any dog that cannot be controlled should not be off the lead.
:no:
Neither mine or any of my mates dogs trouble the livestock on the forest. Most have them have been brought up in farm enviroments and are used to tailing horses when we go riding.
:yes:
Of course if it was a crowded public place, she`d be on a lead as i wouldnt want her to get lost.
In a large park then yeah, off the lead is fine, so long as nobody is being bothered by the dog.
She's very good and stays close (if not right by my legs) and even with a road to cross she sits on the kerb and waits for me to tell her it's okay to cross
and if i call her she's comes straight away so no worry of her bothering people.
If there are other dogs about tho i do tend to put her on the lead otherwise she would want to play and i'd be there forever trying to get her away, lol
Other dogs she tends to ignore for some reason, but she cant resist a squirrell.
you are ~such~ an interesting person. kermit you might like to read the animals act 1971 its only about 11sections but you mite find it useful to think about the civil law in this area. it's interesting because there are, as usual a consideration of common law actions in nuisance and negligence as well as the statute. cf, well do the research yourself! ;D
I quite like that as well. When I walk into town, I have to walk through one of the local parks. There are always dogs off their leads running around. They will sometimes come up to sniff me, but other than that they tend to mind their own businness and just run around with their owner.
