A dog behaviourist is calling for all potential dog owners to pass a mandatory test before they can be issued with a dog licence and bring a dog into their home.
Nanci Creedon says the move would not be a solution for all questionable dog or pet owner behaviour, but would act to give more dogs a chance of a happy and safe life with less risk of being made homeless or put to sleep because of behaviour issues.
Nanci from Cork, believes a dog theory test, science-based and similar to that for a driver's licence, would reduce the number of dog attacks while promoting responsible dog ownership.
