OM DENNE EPISODE
Marking National Dog Day, we revisit a topic which is a challenge to managers of most public open space - dogs. In this episode, we again welcome Stephen Jenkinson, a countryside access consultant with long association with conversations on behaviour of dog walkers.
In this episode we explore recent changes to the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) (Amendment) Act 2025 which received a lot of public attention last year and affects dogs within an access perspective.
