Kennel Club calls on council leaders to relax restrictions on dog walking areas

The Kennel Club has called on council leaders to relax restrictions on dog walking areas to aid social distancing.

The group is urging local councils to do more to help dog walkers stay safe and responsible during the current lockdown period and ensure they can adhere to the social distancing measures following the passage of emergency government legislation, which restricts people from leaving their homes other than for essential activities including taking daily exercise.
