Sections 3 5 to 6 of the Act clarify that: An Order under section 2 of the Dogs Act may be made whether or not the dog is shown to have injured any person; and may specify the measures to be taken for keeping the dog under proper control, whether by muzzling, keeping on a lead, excluding it from specified places or otherwise.

Guard Dogs It is a summary offence for a person to use, or permit the use of, a guard dog to protect any premises unless a handler capable of controlling the dog is also present and the dog is under his control, or unless the dog is secured so that it is not at liberty to go freely about the premises.

Charging practice Code for Crown Prosecutors - considerations A prosecution may not be required where there has been minimal risk to public safety. Dogs causing death to family member Section 3 1 of the Act creates a strict liability offence. Public interest factors to consider include: The level of culpability of the offender: For instance, did the suspect leave a previously well behaved dog with a child for less than a minute? Have there been any precursor incidents, such as unreported attacks within the household by the dog on family members or on other animals?
Does the suspect have previous convictions for dog related offences? Did the suspect resist the dog being put down? Do they own other dogs? Views of the family where this is not the suspect , although care must be taken not to put too much weight on this factor The role of the dog — if the animal was a trophy dog or status symbol there would be a greater Public Interest in prosecuting What safety precautions were ordinarily in place in the home; i.
Were any safety precautions in place at the time and if not, for what reason and for what length of time? Was the dog responding to a high level of danger to the owner or family member?
The following points should be considered as mitigation rather than PI factors tending against prosecution: The fact that the suspect had the dog put down immediately after the incident — although this could demonstrate genuine remorse, and an acknowledgement of the risk that the dog posed to others, it could equally be a cynical action on the part of the suspect.
Time Limits Proceedings for a civil complaint under section 2 of the Dogs Act must be issued within six months. Proceedings for a section 1 offence or simple section 3 offence are summary only. Hate Crime Dog attacks on assistance dogs may also be considered to be hate crime.
Expert Witnesses The police will normally provide an expedited streamlined forensic report on the dog type and will almost certainly be the prosecution expert witness. Case Management Expediting cases Prosecutors should remind the court of the costs incurred by kennelling the dog. Dog Legislation Officer Most police forces have a trained Dog Legislation Officer DLO or an officer trained in dog-related legislation with a good knowledge of the identification of the prohibited types of dogs.
Sentencing The prosecutor must be able to assist the court to reach the correct sentence by providing details of the offence including the Victim Personal Statement , relevant authorities, and drawing attention to the Sentencing Council Guidelines. The Guideline covers the following offences: dog dangerously out of control in any place where death is caused; dog dangerously out of control in any place where a person is injured; dog dangerously out of control in any place where an assistance dog is injured or killed; dog dangerously out of control in any place; possession of a prohibited dog, breeding, selling, exchanging or advertising a prohibited dog.
Ancillary Orders There is a statutory presumption for the destruction of a dog following a conviction for a section 1 or an aggravated section 3 offence unless the Court is satisfied the dog does not constitute a danger to public safety.
CDOs — non-prohibited type dogs Where a CDO is made in relation to a non-prohibited type of dog, the court may attach specific requirements to the order. CDOs — prohibited type dogs Where a CDO is made in respect of a prohibited type dog the Order will require that the dog is exempted within the requisite, two month, period. Costs Prosecutors should apply for compensation for the police for the kennelling costs section 4 4 b and section 4A 6 of the Act.
