Council Dog Assessments
Dangerous, menacing and nuisance dogs
Control Orders can be issued by Councils if your dog is a nuisance and continually barks (Barking Order), is dangerous and has attacked, harassed or chased something (Dangerous Dog Order, Menacing Dog Order or Nuisance Dog Order).
​
A council may require you to seek specific training or have a behaviour assessment as part of the order. We have specific experience in dealing with these cases and can provide assistance. Please contact us to discuss your situation.
​
Pawly Understood has Dog and Cat Management Board approved trainers on staff.
A council order will come with various requirements that may include:
​
​
-
Have your dog desexed or microchipped.
-
Keep your dog under constant physical restraint in public.
-
Place your dog in a specified collar or muzzle.
-
Place warning signs on your property, or
-
Have your dog complete specified training.
-
Siezure or even euthanasia
​
In some cases the order may be excessive or not warranted. Often a council will request specific evidence or a qualified veterinarian opinion. We can assist in these circumstances. We can also help when training is mandated.
