Safety Around Dogs: Safety out walking

  • Keep your dog on the lead by roads, or where he may be tempted to give chase.
  • Train a good recall command so that he will always come back if you call him when it isn’t safe.
  • Be careful around livestock as he may upset them or could get shot without warning by a farmer that believes your dog may be worrying his animals..
  • Don’t let him eat rubbish or discarded food from the side of the road or on the park. 
  • Keep a look out for broken glass on the road or on the park.
  • If your dog is likely to be aggressive to others, use a muzzle, keep him under close control or walk him where you won’t meet other dogs or people.
