flag UK charities seek public input on dog ownership after 1.5 million dogs in North West; 96% of owners see themselves as responsible, but 86% of non-owners report problems.

flag Dogs Trust and the RSPCA are seeking public input on responsible dog ownership as the North West's dog population exceeds 1.5 million. flag A national consultation aims to address a gap between owners' self-perception and public experience, with 96% of owners viewing themselves as responsible, yet 86% of non-owners reporting issues like dog mess, off-leash dogs in restricted areas, and dogs jumping on people. flag Concerns also include ignoring signs of aggression and poor waste cleanup. flag The charities have developed a framework to improve shared understanding of responsible ownership, focusing on safer public spaces and better dog welfare. flag The consultation is open online at dogsTrust.org.uk.
