    I bring my young children walking with me in Belleek and always have to bring a stick with me for fear of a dog having a go at them. Whenever I see an unleashed dog I treat it as a potential threat. There is always the risk that one will leave my children permanently scarred both physically and emotionally. Dogs on leashes mean I can enjoy the park without fear.

    There are few satisfactory places where you can let a dog off lead. perhaps it would be a good idea to have 'dog parks' (at least) as they do in America - also dog beaches (an area maybe). Sometimes it is more difficult to be a dog owner in the country than in a town!

    There is a dog park in Marley Park, although judging by the thread on it it could do with more wardens patrolling it.

    Used to live near there but unaware there was a dog 'area'. Trouble is - whatever 'positive' scheme is put in place there is always someone to spoil it for everyone.
