Cleaning up after your dog is essential in public places, but some may not realise that they could be fined for letting their dog poo on their own property.
While dog fouling in public is a known offence, an unnamed man was recently fined over £750 for dog poo that was littered across his garden. In this instance, there was a build-up of faeces that remained for months, prompting complaints from neighbours.
As this buildup was impacting the man's neighbours and their quality of life, the local council stepped in, giving the dog owner a week to clear the mess.
