ABSTRACT: We have all heard of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 but how much do we actually understand about what it means for dog owners? On 13 May 2014 the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime & Policing Act 2014 led to amendments to the Dangerous Dogs Act which could have far-reaching implications for all dog owners. This article highlights some of the most important changes; these do not relate to Breed Specific Legislation, which is beyond the scope of this article.
