🚨 NEW LAW FOR DOG WALKERS 🚨
As of this week, new rules have come into force that every dog owner needs to be aware of 👇
If your dog chases, scares, or worries livestock - even without touching them - you could now face serious consequences, including unlimited fines.
This isn’t just about fields anymore either… it applies to paths, roads, and anywhere livestock are present.
🐕 What this means for you:
• Keep your dog on a lead near livestock
• Make sure your dog is under full control at all times
• Don’t assume “they wouldn’t hurt anything” - chasing alone is now an offence
This is a big step up from previous laws, and it’s being taken seriously.
Let’s be responsible, protect our dogs, and respect the countryside 🙌
