16.01.2022 #CLARENCEVALLEY Did you know that if your dog is out straying you can be fined $330? And if it happens to rush at, attack, bite, harass or chase a person or an...other animal, you can be fined $1320. Our Rangers have been kept busy dealing with over 240 jobs involving stray animals so far this year. 120 dogs have been impounded during this time. Dogs must be on a leash if they are outside of their property, unless they are in an off-leash area. Even in off-leash areas, owners must maintain full responsibility and control over their dog. If the dog is unruly it should be kept on a lead at all times in public - even in off-leash areas. If you are concerned about straying or unruly dogs you should contact the Council rangers.

05.01.2022 If you've been taught to reach out your hand for a new dog to sniff, PLEASE STOP! The sniff test reaching your hand out for a new dog to smell -- is, unfortunately, a badly ingrained habit that society has been taught as a way to introduce yourself. Because when you reach out towards a dog, you are using your body pressure AT them, giving them no time to assess whether you are safe and whether they require further investigation to pick up your information. You’re f...orcing an interaction of a relationship that hasn't had time to develop. And to some dogs, this is quite rude and the reason many snap at or bite people. This can also cause a lot of behavioral issues because of layered stress due to forced interactions. If they are on lead, they have nowhere to go if they are sensitive to spatial pressure, so they can end up shutting down, shying away, or snapping at your hand to make you back off. This is an example of how a dog is now using pressure to turn off pressure & make you back off so they aren't so stressed. People think by offering your hand, it can give the dog time to sniff to know you're friendly... they can sniff without being forced to sniff your hand. Their noses are far more superior than ours, so they don't need close contact forced upon them to smell you. Some dogs might not want to know you. You have no relationship with them and that's perfectly fine. They aren't your dog, so you don't need to touch them or steal pats for your own satisfaction. Sowhat’s the right way to meet a dog? Ask the owner if you can interact with their dog. Not everyone wants strangers to touch their dogs. Stand up straight & relaxed, with your hands at your side. Ignore the dog & talk to the owner. Don't stare at the dog or try to force an interaction by going in for a pat. If the dog wants to know you, it will come up to you and sniff around. They will usually move away and then come back for a second sniff. Some dogs will bunt your hands and wag their tails, which are good signs that you're likely an accepted new friend. Give them a few slow pats down their back (NOT THEIR HEAD) and then stop. Is the dog happy? Has it accepted your interaction? This will determine whether you can give it more pats. And it's a more stress-free option for dogs and a better way to develop a good level of trust, especially with fearful dogs & aggressive dogs, without a bunch of negative side effects from forced interactions. All too often, dogs are surrendered to the shelter after biting someone who unintentionally forced an interaction that made the dog uncomfortable. Please share this important information to prevent well-meaning humans from getting hurt and pups from losing their homes! Copied from another site.
