Dog Law Regarding Livestock
Please note that under the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) Act 1953 your dog must not worry (chase or attack) livestock (cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses and poultry) on agricultural land, so even with a trained dog you should keep your dog on a lead around livestock or any area where you expect to find livestock. If your dog worries livestock, the farmer has the right to stop your dog (even by shooting your dog in certain circumstances).
For more information on dog law please see the Kennel Club’s dog law publication.
