Not giving details to council dog warden
3 Answers
What can you expect if you refuse to give your details to a dog warden / council enforcement person? He wanted to give me a ticket for "Dogs on Leads (Exeter) Order" Many thanks. He has my details now but I feel bad and am kicking myself for giving them to him. I am going to appeal as my dog only just stepped out of my work car park literally half a metre onto the pavement. Is there anything I can do?

Although a penalty for a half-metre transgression may seem harsh, you are in breach of the Order...
"Failing to keep a dog on a lead on roads, pavements, footpaths and designated parks"
Owners who neglect [this duty] will be issued with a fixed penalty notice and fine of �75.
The maximum fine on prosecution for offences under the Dog Control Orders is currently set at �1000 [plus court costs].

Thanks Ethel and Kempie,
Yes dog has collar and tag, but he was asking me. My dog would not have let him near her tag. She is not good with strangers epecially large males.
I have read the dogs order thanks. I will appeal as I feel he acted a little harshly. Like waiting outside someones house to see if the dog strays onto the pavement while they are going from the front door to the car.
