Leave Only Pawprints |
Many councils in the UK and Ireland have moved forward with some interesting anti-dog fouling schemes. Some are very matter of fact in outlining what the council wants from dog owners and other councils promoting dog ownership in a more friendly way (see background research to some of this done by Cardiff Dog Action and presented to the council HERE).
During the consultation for PSPOs Cardiff Dog Action felt the time was right now for all those responsible dog owners/walkers to do something in their local areas to work towards these aims. As a result, the council encouraged by dog owners' who were keen to improve things in Cardiff, they launched their new 'Leave Only Pawprints' campaign in October. Leave Only Pawprints, which is based on the successful Green Dog Walkers scheme, is a friendly, non-confrontational way to tackle attitudes and behaviours around dog fouling (see background research to the original Green Dog Walkers scheme and other schemes and research HERE). You can now download the booklet to pledge to 'leave only pawprints' on your next walk around Cardiff HERE. This was followed in December 2019 with the announcement of the new volunteer ambassador for the Leave Only Pawprints campaign HERE. |
