Dogs Kept On Leash
All dogs should be kept on leash on all public pavements and footpaths. Dogs should not be leashed/left immediately outside entrance doors at shops or other services.
Why the contribution is important
Whilst many pet owners have good control of their dogs and can quickly bring them to heel when off the lead this isn't always the case.
During lockdown we are avoiding other people by 6m or more... we should not have to accept another persons dog invading our safe space or allow them to block our way in/out of a shop or service area.

Personal safe space is therefore crucially important - I cannot control dogs who enter my space/block my way.... only dog owners can do that.
There is not enough scientific evidence to determine transmission from dogs... whether or not the animal can contract/transmit COVID-19 is important but so also is the fact that your animal is in your household in contact with persons and materials which may cause risk to others.
There is also the indirect effect of dogs off leash... I step aside to avoid a dog and end up in someone else's space as a result.
Finally... so disappointed to see people respond to ideas posted in this forum at this particular time using terms of 'relevancy' and 'daftness'. Disagree... argue your point by all means... but don't tell others what is important to them is meaningless.
