11 children injured in Blyth park dog attack

That's it in a nutshell, when you first bring them home the first few months are absolutely vital, I work from home but it was still hard

Totally agree, you have to put some serious work in when they are a pup but good habits stay with them a lifetime.
I've trained mine to ring a bell when she needs to go out for a piddle!! :)

That's amazing lol
 
I think that people should need a licence in order to own a dog - not as a financial penalty but as more of an education program. People don't view the driving test as an expensive penalty for wanting to drive. Needing a licence should improve the safety and well-being of dogs, as well as hopefully reducing unfortunate, isolated incidents like this.

That said, I'd love for parenthood to require a licence as well...

your missing the point its a living thing and needs looking after and trained. BUT SADLY many just use them as a lifestyle or a weapons to defend them. yes it should be harder to get a pet dog and if the law was harder on the people who miss use them in stead of small fine should be ban for life. its a choice to own a dog but should be made harder than just taking 1 for free of a mate or family or buy them of the internet

a tax on owning pets is a must for me and if you want to own a dog or cat you must have to be made to think first about the cost of having it for its lifespan. then the laws of miss using them and cruelty animals will see you taken to court and a life ban. the microchip should be the last thing you have to think about. the government should put a better regulation schemes for councils to stop the people just picking up a pet of the internet or friends

you shouldn't financially penalise people who bring up their animals properly and look after them properly, in the same way you shouldn't financially penalise good drivers or people who don't get pissed and then start a fight.

Any measures to stop the puppy trade and to punish poor owners and bad breeders should be introduced, but penalising good owners? nope, not for me.

Unfortunately the definition of a good owner is pretty much contrary to Crufts and that parade of strange beasts that 3 generations ago used to be dogs. Whilst that is the public representation of dog ownership and treatment, there is going to be a conflict which means not much can get done.
