Telford dog behaviourist launches scheme to cut attacks

A Telford-based dog behaviourist has launched a new scheme that aims to reduce the risk of animal attacks in the region.

Anne Browning, who runs Roann’s Dog Therapy, has launched the Responsible Dog Owners Award Scheme with the aim of getting people to understand the responsibilities of owning a dog.

Browning told the Shropshire Star: “The award is very much like a driving test. It has a theory and practical part to it. Dog owners have to pass the theory first, before doing the practical side. Once they have passed both, owners are awarded a certificate and enamel badge to wear with pride.

“Educating owners is the best way to help avoid the many dog attacks and behavioural problems we have in society.”

It costs £25 to take part in the scheme.
