Be a responsible dog owner

We have seen some incidents recently where sheep have been injured or killed as a result of attacks from dogs off their leads. Farmers have lost sheep or have had their animals attacked. This really can be avoided by working together with dog owners, sending home the message that dogs should be kept on leads. 

We appreciate why people would want to go on walks in our scenic countryside. Many walkers bring dogs with them and whilst we want that to continue, all we are asking is that people respect the Countryside Code.

There are plenty of warning signs and information about taking dogs on leads, so all we ask is that you be respectful towards the countryside especially around livestock.

And what does Shaun the Sheep think about dogs in the countryside?
