Friday September 05, 2025 Keep your dogs on a lead around livestock.

Share |

Otherwise, they may be (legally) shot!

On average Wiltshire Police receives two reports each month of dogs chasing, injuring or killing sheep and other livestock.

A survey by the NFU Mutual with 1100 dog owners showed that 66% allow their pets to roam freely off-lead in the countryside, yet 39% admit their dogs do not come back to them when called, and 64% admit their pets chase livestock.

Wiltshire Police would like to remind people who may be out and about enjoying the wonderful Wiltshire countryside with dogs, it is a sensible precaution to keep them on a lead when livestock are nearby.

It is a criminal offence and can mean the dog owner could face prosecution and a fine of up to £1000, in the most serious case. 

Find out more about livestock worrying and how to report it on the Wiltshire Police website:

If you see a dog worrying or attacking livestock please call 999 or report online at https://www.wiltshire.police.uk/ro/report/rwc/rural/report-rural-crime/ or call 101 after an occurrence.
