Not a single dog was on a lead and we had to dodge 3 piles of excrement left on the paths.<br /><br />There are signs, but DOGS CAN'T READ!!

Any resposible dog owner should be "picking up" after their pets when out on walks. As a "proffessional" pet care specialist it absolutely infuriates me to see "poop" that someone has failed to dispose of.<br />Whilst legislation need to be in place I would much prefer to see enforcement of rather than the production of endless new rules to abide by. All responsible dog owners like myself would welcome the prosecution of those irresposible owners. Perhaps a few well publicised prosecutions would send a message ?<br /><br />As a parent, pet owner and golfer I read the proposed regulations with interest. I agree there are places pets should not go. Childrens play areas for example. However the council should go much further than rule making. I would like to see examples followed by adjoining councils like Solihull for example. Next time you have an hour to spare, take a trip up to Lavender Hall Lane, Balsall Common. There you will see a haven created for all members of the community. There is a fenced in play area, good parking facilities and dog poop bins situated next to litter bins all over the park. Football pitches etc<br />I suppose the answer will be finance but Warwickshire council should follow this lead. Don't make new laws where they are not needed. Enforce the laws you already have, upgrade your facilities and make our parks nicer for everyoneMark Young (Mogz and Dogz)noreply@blogger.com
