Report a dog owner for allowing their dog to foul in a public area

Evidence we need to investigate

We will investigate complaints we receive based on the level of evidence provided. 

For example we would be in a better position to take action if you are able to provide a full description of what happened, including

  • Date
  • Time
  • Location
  • What you witnessed
  • Description of the dog/owner and as much information as possible about the incident
  • Any information regarding the offender - which could include name/address (if known), vehicle registration number or any other identifying feature.

Unfortunately we are unable to investigate one-off incidents without sufficient evidence.
