Introduction

The main role of a dog warden is dog control. But they are also there to give advice and education to dog owners, when they ask for it.

Wardens enforce legislation to promote responsible dog ownership. They will also provide expert advice to the council’s licensing team on welfare issues for animal establishments that need a licence.

Wardens patrol at times when dogs are likely to be exercised, focusing on specific problems or responding to complaints.
