Dogs

We are happy to welcome dog walkers to our playing field, However we do ask that;

1. Dogs are kept under control at all times.

2. If your dog has no recall please keep it on a lead.

3. do not let you dog run after other dogs, children or people.

4. If your dog fouls please dispose of it in the bin, we do not have a poop fairy.

5. We reserve the right to ask you to leave the area if we feel your dog is out of control.

NB;

Out of control

Your dog is considered dangerously out of control if it:

• injures someone
• makes someone worried that it might injure them

A court could also decide that your dog is dangerously out of control if either of the following apply:

• it attacks someone's animal
• the owner of an animal thinks they could be injured if they tried to stop your dog attacking their animal

Penalties

You can get an unlimited fine or be sent to prison for up to 6 months (or both) if your dog is dangerously out of control. You may not be allowed to own a dog in the future and your dog may be destroyed.

If you let your dog injure someone you can be sent to prison for up to 5 years or fined (or both). If you deliberately use your dog to injure someone you could be charged with 'malicious wounding'.

If you allow your dog to kill someone you can be sent to prison for up to 14 years or get an unlimited fine (or both).

If you allow your dog to injure an assistance dog (for example a guide dog) you can be sent to prison for up to 3 years or fined (or both).
