Dog walking rules

Follow these simple rules when walking your dog or other pets in parks and public places:

  • keep your dog under control at all times
  • make sure your dog has a tag on its collar with contact details
  • keep your dog on a lead when not in an area that permits dogs to roam freely
  • keep your dog out of areas in the park where they are not allowed such as children’s play areas
  • always clean up after your dog; pick up the faeces immediately and place them in a dog waste bin
