Building Positive Relationships Between Dogs and Their Communities
Respect runs both ways. Small everyday choices by owners shape how neighbourhoods feel about dogs.

Dogs live in shared spaces — streets, beaches, apartment blocks and parks. How owners behave in those spaces shapes how communities feel about dogs.
Be a good neighbour
Manage barking, keep your dog secure, and be understanding toward people who are uncomfortable around dogs.
Share reliable information
Replacing myths with accurate information, calmly and respectfully, helps people see dogs as individuals rather than stereotypes.
