It’s against the law to let a dog be dangerously out of control anywhere, such as: in a public place. You can report a dog that’s 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. 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.

Our estate does not have a public space protection order and just about every other person who owns a dog on the estate walks them off lead, yet were the only ones who’s been complained about. Is it legal to walk a dog off lead. She has great recall and never wanders far. We don’t have a garden on our property so the only time she can go toilet is outside on walks.
