**IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL UK DOG OWNERS** Changes to the Dangerous Dogs Act

Are you aware of the changes to the Dangerous Dogs Act coming into force (13th of May 2014).

No matter what size or breed your dog is, he will need to be on his best behavior from now on, or you could be prosecuted!

They will affect you, even if you know your dog isn’t dangerous!

Why? Because the changes affect all dogs of all breeds, and you can now be prosecuted just because another person believes your dog MAY injure them – They don’t have to bite!

What’s concerning is what you may see as your dog being overly keen to chase, follow or play with a jogger may now be seen as your dog acting ‘Dangerously out of control’ in the eyes of the law. It’s all down to the opinion of that jogger and whether they felt ‘safe’ or not.

Not only this, the new changes now cover private property, including your own front and back garden. Gone are the days when you could allow your dog to sit in the front garden with the gate just on the latch. If they take dislike to the postman and bark at them over-enthusiastically, you could be prosecuted under the new rules for not controlling your ‘dangerous dog’!
