KC Dog Dog Control Orders Survey


To make our campaigning more effective KC Dog needs your help to find out where and why there are problems associated with dog walking and how these can be resolved. Don’t forget to pass the survey on to your friends with dogs too. The more response we get the stronger our case for working with dog owners, not against them!
