If You Live In Glen Eira Council (vic) Have Your Say!

[megan_]

Glen Eira is having a review of off leash laws/areas. There is only ONE more chance to participate before the report is written. This will then be published for public comment in Feb, but it is much better to get dog owner's needs met if we have input into the report.

Details here:

Bentleigh McKinnon Youth Centre — 7pm, 8 December

Higgins Road, Bentleigh East

Mel Ref: 77 F2

There is also a summary of problems listed on the council website (attacks, dogs harrassing people, people not picking up after their dog).

My position is that laws exist to address all of these things already - they just aren't enforced by the council. In my two years of walking my dogs twice a day, I have never once seen a ranger. I also believe that the council should focus on people walking their dogs off leash in on leash areas - that is a real problem in my area.

I live in that area, me and my girlfriend took our dog for a walk around and past a football oval with two girls lying just relaxing and we saw two dogs running around freely, and the two dogs had seen us with our dog yoshi and I could see them g towards us ready to attack and that's exactly what the dogs did, got a chunk of yoshi's hair I was so pissed I took control and blocked the dogs and yelled at the owners who were just lying and didn't give a **** the dogs were called back and yet again the dogs ran after a woman jogging they would bark and go off.

Our dog has issues of being fearful with ppll and dogs and my girlfriend and I are trying our best to fix his issues that we are at fault and it makes it difficult when owners can't even take control of there dogs especially if it's off leash.

I get embarrassed our fearful dog but atleast I'm trying to fix his behaviour problem while some just don't care what there dog may do.

I'm all for off leash as long as it's allowed and our dog is trained as I've seen a few really nice off leash dogs.
