Keep Dogs on Leads
A law ought to be passed with immediate effect to make it compulsory for all dogs, with the exception of genuine working dogs on farms or shooting estates, to be kept on leads at all times when away from their home on walks, etc. At the very least, the Scottish Government could reaffirm their previous advice and make it clear to the public that the Police will enforce this advice.
Why the contribution is important
This suggestion is made because my wife has been jumped up at by loose dogs on each the previous two days. Initially, people were generally observing the advice to keep dogs on leads or under control, but recently more and more people are ignoring that advice. So much so that one woman shouted abuse to us and another walker after being asked to put her three loose dogs on leads. One of these dogs repeatedly jumped at us and the owner just ignored it.

On farmed land..dogs should be on leads, or at least under reasonable control.
