Dog walkers in Dulwich Park

[Dulwich Born And Bred]

Some questions:

Keep dogs on a lead.....why do most of the owners ignore this and let their dogs run free on the tarmac where kids are walking, adults are walking, joggers are running and cyclists are cycling? I cannot begin to tell you the fear the kids have when we are walking and an overexcited dog comes running up to them resulting in sobs and wails of fear from the kids.

And I have been chased whilst jogging by dogs off leads.

Walking dogs on Tarmac.....why would dogs WANT to walk on tarmac?? why walk to Dulwich park to walk on tarmac when any pavement will suffice? would it not be better to let the dogs run about on the grass where they can poo, run free and have no kids or joggers etc in their view? after all that IS the dog exercise area and they can be taken off the leads there.

Since cars were banned from Dulwich Park the influx of dog walkers has increased ten folds and it is causing so many problems!

Why? Are they using dog carts now?

Not this one again..... I say the ban the kids not the dogs. I know of two occasions were kids on bikes could have caused a lot of damage to those on pavements or people walking through the park.

Just incase anyone was under any misaprehension - dogs have to be kept under control - not neccessarily on a lead so the keep dogs on leads signs are illegal as there has been no dog control order imposed in Peckham Rye Park.
