CARL SARGEANT AM LAUNCHES DOG ACCESS GUIDE
Alyn & Deeside Assembly Member Carl Sargeant joined the Kennel Club yesterday to help set the record straight regarding access rights for dog owners with the launch of the KC Dog Access Guide for Wales, called ‘Walkies’.
A keen supporter of the Kennel Club’s dog access campaign, Carl commented:
“The KC Dog Access Guide is an important step towards a more harmonious relationship between dog walkers, farmers and land managers.
“The Welsh countryside is there to be enjoyed by those that respect the legislation regarding access, and the Kennel Club's guide is an ideal way to provide walkers with this information in a concise way."
Under the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act local authorities can restrict dogs’ access to open spaces, whether on private or public land. The Kennel Club's KC Dog campaign advocates that responsible dog ownership is a key step towards preventing such measures from being implemented.
The Kennel Club’s comprehensive new wallet-sized access guide is designed for dog owners and walkers to carry with them when out and about in the Welsh countryside, as a way of ensuring that they know their rights and responsibilities when it comes to access.
Kennel Club Chairman, Ronnie Irving said: “Dog walkers make an important contribution to the vitality of our countryside and economies, yet sadly they are all too often treated as an unwelcome group, and suffer from a bad reputation due to the irresponsible actions of a minority.
“Despite the small number of owners who choose to act irresponsibly, Kennel Club research shows that very often those who depart from the desired responsible behaviour, do so not out of malicious intent but often simply because of a lack of information that is clear, credible and consistent.
“The Kennel Club is optimistic that the new access guide will help owners and their dogs to enjoy the beautiful Welsh countryside with confidence.”
