Dog Fouling
Dundee City Council actively encourages dog owners to act responsibly and clear up after their dog. We have in excess of 1300 dog waste bins which annually collects approximately 180 tonnes of dog waste. There should be no excuse in leaving dog mess on the streets, parks and beaches.
Animal Control Service
Dundee City Council provides a service for the collection of stray and abandoned dogs.
Green Dog Walkers
What is 'Green Dog Walkers'?
Aggressive or Out of Control Dogs
Responsible dog ownership plays a big part in keeping Dundee a great place to live, work and visit. The introduction of 'The Control of Dogs (Scotland) Act 2010' provides Scottish local authorities with powers to place requirements on dog owners who allow their dog to be out of control in such a way that causes fear or alarm for other people.
Brown Street History
History
In common with other with Local Authorities in Scotland, Dundee City Council has experienced problems in the past with large numbers of stray dogs roaming around our streets.
We were fortunate in that we had a facility to house these strays and re-home them where possible.
In the early 80s, the situation had become so bad that the Council took the decision to appoint 2 Dog Wardens as authorised officers under the Dogs Act 1906, assuming responsibility from the police for the collection of stray dogs.
