Owners of dangerous dogs have imposed on them a series of obligations to make sure that members of the public are not attacked by their dog.
Most serious dog attacks (resulting in hospitalisation) occur in the home.
Confining dogs to their property could prevent 80 per cent of dog attacks in public places.
Owners of declared menacing dogs must comply with requirements to prevent attacks or the causing of serious injury.
We acknowledge the traditional Aboriginal Owners of Country throughout Victoria, their ongoing connection to this land and we pay our respects to their culture and their Elders past, present and future.
