Dog control

Every dog owner must make sure their pet is not a nuisance. As a dog owner, you must comply with certain laws designed to make sure that people and dogs can live happily and safely together in the community.

We have information and guidance on dangerous dogs, dog fouling, lost and stray dogs and dog poo bins.

Under the Microchipping of Dogs (England) Regulations 2015 all dogs in England over the age of eight weeks must be fitted with microchips.
