Anglesey Council has recently received complaints about dogs left off their leads and jumping on members of the public.

This, of course, means that their owners have to break the 2-metre social distancing guidelines to retrieve their dogs.

We must stress the need for responsible dog ownership, especially during the Coronavirus pandemic, and ask owners to keep their dogs under control at all times whilst out in public places.

We would urge that all dog owners walk their dogs on leads, to maintain full control of their dogs whilst out in public places. You will then be able to keep the 2-metre social distancing to protect yourselves, your dogs and other members of the public.  

The LEAD initiative requires dogs to be kept under control, so that their behaviour is not anti-social. Where legislation permits the Police will intervene under the LEAD scheme.
