Etiquette for Dog Owners

Here are some tips to enable dogs and humans to live together harmoniously.

1.Always keep your dog on a leash when you are out for a walk.

2.When you are walking your dog, keep him/her close to you and steer clear of people walking, running, skating, or biking.

3.Stoop and scoop after your dog, and whatever you do, don´t let your dog relieve itself on the neighbour´s lawn!

4.When you are on your own property, tie your dog up if you can´t supervise it constantly.

5.Never underestimate your dog´s potential for aggressiveness. Owners of dogs that growl and bare their teeth often say "Don´t worry, he won´t bite!" Be careful! An accident can happen very quickly, so guard against those "first times."

6.Bring your dog indoors if it has been left alone in the yard and is barking. Don´t leave your dog outdoors if you know that it is going to bark all day.

7.Never leave your dog under the supervision of a young child, especially those who are not a part of the family .
