They added that under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 it is a criminal offence for any dog breed to be dangerously out of control anywhere including:
– in a public place
– in a private place such as a neighbour’s house or garden
– in the owner’s home
‘Dangerously out of control’ may be considered as injuring another person or animal or causing someone to fear injury.
