Man Is Sentenced Over Guide Dog Attack

John-Jo Madden, 18 of Gospel Oak in north west London, is banned from keeping dogs for 10 years by magistrates on Tuesday. His dog a terrier type dog badly wounded a blind women's guide dog. His dog ran out of control in an underpass at Cricklewood railway station last year.

Detective Constable Gerry Griffin, of the British Transport Police (BTP) said, this case sends a very strong message about the responsibilities of being a dog owner. Police have warned dog owners to keep their dogs under control.

It's the responsibility of dog owners to make sure they understand the DOG LAWS. Having a dog is more responsibility than just taking it for a walk and feeding it.

We all need to stop attacks like this from happening, one is to keep your dog on a lead and under control. No matter what breed or size dog you have, training is a good thing to do for you and your dog. Training can help you understand your dog better, and help you have your dog under control. Your dog also benefits from training too. Its helps to socialises your dog, gets your dog using its brains, (yes your dog dose have a brain). Training can build up a good relationship between you both.
