The Law<\/b><\/h3>\n

Northumberland County Council has introduced four Dog Control Orders under the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Order 1 \u2013Removing Dog Faeces<\/b><\/h3>\n

This requires people in control of a dog to immediately remove faeces deposited by their dog on all land which is open to the air and to which the public are entitled or permitted to have access in the County of Northumberland at all times of the year. This includes beaches, sand dunes and coastal grasslands.<\/p>\n

Order 2 \u2013Keeping Dogs on Leads<\/b><\/h3>\n

This would require people in control of a dog to keep it on a lead no longer than 1.5metres in the following area(s) at all times of the year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>All cemeteries within the County of Northumberland.\u00a0Alongside A and B Class roads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Order 3 \u2013Keeping Dogs on Leads when Directed<\/b><\/h3>\n

This requires people in control of a dog to put and keep it on a lead, no longer than 1.5m, when told to do so by an authorised officer, which will apply on land open to the air and to which the public are entitled and permitted to haveaccess in the County of Northumberland at all times of the year.<\/p>\n

Order 4 \u2013Excluding Dogs from Land<\/b><\/h3>\n

This requires people in control of a dog to ensure that it is prevented from entering all enclosed children\u2019s play areas within Northumberland at all times of the year.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Failure to comply could result in a fixed penalty fine of \u00a375. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dogs (Protection of Livestock) Act 1953<\/h3>\n

Under the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) Act 1953, you are committing an offence if your dog worries (chases or attacks) livestock (cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses and poultry) on agricultural land, so keep your dog on a lead around livestock.<\/p>\n

If your dog worries livestock, the farmer has the right to stop your dog (even by shooting your dog in certain circumstances).<\/p>\n

Be aware of feeding birds<\/b><\/h3>\n

Flocks of birds on the shore will most likely be feeding. It may be fun, but please do not allow your dog to run at flocks of birds on the shore. Regular disturbance causes stress and conserving valuable energy is important to them \u2013 it could mean the difference between life and death.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Take care of roosting shorebirds<\/b><\/h3>\n

Please keep dogs on a lead or at heel when possible. Even well-behaved dogs can frighten roosting shorebirds causing them to move away from protecting their youngsters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Farm animals and Livestock<\/b><\/h3>\n

Cattle, sheep and ponies are often grazed in dunes, coastal grasslands and adjacent fields. Where you come across livestock, please put your dog on a lead.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are chased by cattle you should let your dog off its lead to protect yourself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
