Could there be stricter rules on dog ownership?

Thinking of getting a dog and came across this article? Could there be stricter rules and regulations on dog ownership?
Many, like the RVC, believe there should be. With so many pet dogs in society – a significant proportion of which have poor social and training skills – many feel there needs to be more interventions to emphasise the importance of responsible dog ownership. We are already seeing more restrictions on dogs in public spaces in the UK. Councils are frequently adopting Public Space Protection Orders, to ban dogs from areas such as public parks, beaches and even car parks.
This is largely as a result of too many people allowing their dogs to foul public spaces and creating tension by walking too many dogs at once. Indeed, in many towns and cities – especially in tourist areas, the numbers of people visiting with a dog has become vastly more noticeable.

Having spent 50 years living with Livestock Guarding Dogs I can assure you that I absolutely do understand how dogs prefer to live. I am far from being the average pet owner with a dog sleeping on the bed and being fed cream cake. But a Chihuahua is not a Caucasian and not all dogs have the same instincts or the same needs. Dogs have been living and working alongside man for thousands of years and have adapted to living with us. Most of the modern pet breeds would not survive 10 minutes if left to fend for themselves.

They actually wouldn't. Are you confusing a Cavalier with a Caucasian? Cavaliers have been bred as companion dogs.

Clearly you are one of these a dog is a dog is a dog people who think the same rules apply to every dog, which clearly is nonsense.

The level of dog hate on mumsnet is disproportionate to reality.

Just dickwads trying to sound knowledgeable on the most part.

Sounds Amazing. Obviously suburb/neighbourhood housing officials are sensible people.

I cannot see why councils or City Mayors cannot set their own rules over dog ownership and maintenance here in the UK. Is like there's no sense.

Yet strangely some of these new posh builds with concierge's have strict rules regarding pet ownership and use of private gardens for residences.

That sounds excellent, surely we could do that here?

We don't see it much here either. Rural Lancashire. There are plenty of poo bins and those are very well used.

@spidey66@Hellohelga i can’t see evidence of dog hating, just people asking that dog owners be respectful of those who don’t feel the same as you about dogs, or those that are scared, or those that are sick and tired of bad behaviour by dogs and their owners
