Scottish dog laws that could see owners prosecuted - from barking to Highway Code

Owning a dog can bring so much love into your life, but it also brings with it a range of responsibilities.

Not every dog owner is aware of the important laws that impact you once you have purchased a pooch, with a breach resulting in fines, community service or even a custodial sentence.

There are rules on a huge number of things when it comes to dogs and their welfare, including laws on fouling, barking and even travelling in cars. Breaking the laws could result in fines, community service or even prison time, with some breaches meaning people will be banned from owning dogs in the future.
