Dog walking rules

What the law allows and forbids, where to walk, and what a breach costs.

  • On a lead at all times

    In public — courtyards, streets, parks, transport — a dog must be on a lead. You may let it off in fenced dog parks.

  • A muzzle for large breeds

    Large and potentially dangerous dogs need a muzzle as well as a lead. The list of breeds is approved separately — check with your city administration.

  • Clean up after your dog

    Leaving faeces in a courtyard, on a pavement or on grass is an offence. Always carry a bag.

  • Not on playgrounds

    Playgrounds and sports grounds, school and nursery grounds, and beaches are off limits.

  • Not while intoxicated

    Someone who cannot control themselves cannot control a dog. The rule is spelled out in the law.

  • Not a large dog with a child

    Whoever walks the dog must be able to physically hold it. Formally the owner is responsible either way.

  • Off the lead in dog parks

    In an equipped dog park your dog can run off the lead. Below are the parks we found on the map.
