Clampdown on nuisance dog owners
NUISANCE dogs disturbing neighbours could land their owners in trouble.
East Riding Council is launching a crackdown on irresponsible pet owners.
-
Pick it up: A responsible dog owner picks up after their pet.
It will involve a tighter approach to dog fouling, stray pets and dogs that bark incessantly.
East Riding environmental control manager David Howliston said: "Dogs that are left alone can cause noise nuisance. We get 400 complaints a year about that."

Fixed penalty notices can be issued, just as they can for dog fouling. But the council's aim is more about changing people's habits.
The council will publish information about how to report a stray dog or locate a lost dog, on dog control orders, on how to reduce instances of dogs barking and on how people can blow the whistle on irresponsible dog owners.
Councillor Jackie Cracknell, cabinet portfolio holder for community partnerships, said: "Dog fouling and irresponsible dog ownership are unacceptable and the council is firmly on the side of residents who are angered at those dog owners who do not clean up after their animals, cause nuisance through noise or breach the dog control orders.
"If you witness dog fouling, breaches of dog control orders or a noisy dog, and can provide the council with sufficient information, call us and we will take action."
Last year, East Riding Council issued three £75 fixed penalty notices for dog fouling and six for allowing a dog on to excluded land.

"where WE the normal people "
There is no such thing as 'normal' in referring to people, but if there was, YOU wouldn't be in that category.”

“xwzzzzzzzzzzz you're quite right in your assumption,I just hate it when any of the authorities claim to be totally on the ball, clued up and in touch with the public and further to expect the public to believe it when reality is blatantly otherwise.If there is usable and working procedure in place then share it with us all please..thats my little rant done...lol”

“pcrowan
Although I am sure it wasn't intentional, you have made a good point as far as reporting incidents. Anyone can say that anyone (with a dog obviously) isn't picking up and what does a photo prove? I suppose the only real evidence would be a movie of the incident.

I don't think that anything is as revolting as the photo that you chose to represent yourself.”

“On the plus side.. these warm bags of fun when placed in the pocket will assist as a deterrent to pick pockets and act as an aid in keeping the hands warm during the colder months”

Tell me ERYCC what information would be required in respect of reporting dog fouling? A description and the name of the dog,it's owner/handler,a photograph of the incident and location..???
Also will all incidents be logged in a dog log for repeat offenders?”

“Wuff Wuff, Ffuw, Ffuw.
Dogs and particularly their owners spoil where WE the normal people wish to roam. They're disgusting, smelly, unhygienic and dangerous.”

"Perhaps Mark could twain the nuisance dog owners on how not to be so obnoxious"
Why not try leading by example?”
