I agree with DJKQ and First Mate. I think dog fouling needs to be dealt with, not by banning dogs or keeping them on lead, onlead dogs poo too, the owners who don't pick up should be punished, dogs should be kept on lead on streets, estates, but not parks. Dogs need to be allowed to run free and play and interact with other dogs or they'll go stir crazy. I think the dog license should be brought back and the revenue from it should pay for dog trainers/wardens to teach people responsible dog ownership. Anyone buying a dog should have to attend training classes and do the Good Citizen thing by the Kennel club, basic common sense, which some dog owners don't have unfortunately.
