In our dog-friendly council, precautions are advised to prevent and handle dog attacks.
If a dog attack occurs, stay calm and don't use your hands
to intervene.
Create a distraction or
barrier, call your dog away
and, if required, seek
medical treatment.
For more tips and information visit our dog’s webpage.
