The Scottish Government is having a Consultation to decide what sort of action could be considered around the issue of public safety and dogs.

Some of the proposals include compulsory microchipping and compulsory muzzling in public places, and so on.

There is a link through the BBC website to a more in depth story and discussion, which as usual turns into a bit of a slagging match, but there are also links there to the Consultation Document and a Survey where you can actually take part in the consultation itself.

We have lots of customers in Scotland who like us agree with force-free training methods and it is an opportunity to let your feelings and opinions known to the ‘authorities’.

I suppose the other question is, should we also have a similar consultation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland? Why just is Scotland?
