Licensing For Dog Owners

Posted: 16 Nov 2009 07:12 PM PST

G'day Dog Lovers,

I've heard plenty of people say that you should need a license to take on the responsibility of dog ownership, but has anyone ever given the idea much thought? I think licensing dog owners would be a great way to ensure that Aussie dogs are looked after.

Think about it - so many dogs are dumped because their owners didn't fully understand what they were getting themselves into when they got a dog. They may get bored with their pet, fail to feed or exercise it properly, or not provide the love and attention every dog deserves. So, sadly, they abandon their dog. In order to get a dog licence, prospective owners would have to undergo education to get a full understanding of the overall commitment owning a dog involves.

This would also put a stop to poorly-trained, unsocialised dogs acting aggressively, and would get rid of irresponsible owners who don't clean up after their pooch or don't keep it on a leash when in public.

What do you think? Should people be forced to get a licence to own a dog?
