Respect our community
Support our cleaner, healthier Dundonald Campaign...
Be considerate ... bin your litter .... Dog owners .... bag and bin your dog waste
Dog owners !
We also ask for responsible dog ownership and take our lead from the South Ayrshire Council 'Respect' Campaign. Full details on South Ayrshire Council (SAC) website. (click the link at the bottom of this page for more info)
The campaign states good practise, which aims to encourage responsible dog ownership and reduce dog fouling through seven key messages:
Remember to bag it and bin it
Ensure you have enough dog waste bags with you
Stop your dog from alarming people and other dogs
Please obey signage in appropriate areas
Ensure your dog is regularly wormed
Chip your dog
Tag your dog
Walking your dog:
You can walk your dog in most places, but some are more appropriate than others. For example, pavements, open grassed areas, towpaths are all good places to walk your dog provided you keep control of it and immediately pick up all fouling and dispose of it responsibly in a bin.
Access rights:
With such a great scenic environment in South Ayrshire, walking your dog is an easy way to get out and about and get some regular exercise – but there are rules that we all have to follow when enjoying the great outdoors.
Please note, when walking your dog, access rights only apply if your dog is kept under proper control, which is either on a short lead of two metres or less or at heel and responding to commands. Your dog is not under control if it is running free, out of your sight or causing alarm to people, other dogs or animals.
The main places where access rights don’t apply, and dogs are not allowed, are:
• other people's gardens, and non-residential buildings and associated land
• land where crops are growing
• land next to a school and used by the school
• sports or playing fields when in use and where the exercise of access rights would interfere with such use
• land developed and in use for recreation and where the exercise of access rights would interfere with such use
• golf courses (but you can cross a golf course provided you don’t interfere with any game of golf and do not cross any of the tees or greens)
• places like airfields, railways, telecommunication sites, military bases and installations, working
quarries and construction sites
• visitor attractions or other places which charge for entry
• commercial premises and land which is the subject of a specific exemption order made under the Act
