Finally we have a good working initiative. Well done.

I've been saying that something like this should be done for quite some time, but didn't think anyone would actually do it. Brilliant!

But if that is what was required i would do it, I am in favour of all you have said and i look forward to the day i can once again walk in my local park with my dogs ( whom i should add are on a lead) in peace, I am fed up of coming home a bag of nerves as once agin a dog out of control has charged us and an even worse the owner just walks on regardless. I should add at this point while these dogs are running wild they are also useing the parks as a loo and these so called pet loving owners never clean up after them. It is way past time these people were brought to task. Good luck in all your work. regards Anita Smith I wish you every luck in the world with this I would back it all the way, My only concern is as a 60 year old having to take a test like that of the driving test to keep my two little yorkies.
