  Inspection of home, walking, traveling skills, leash skills, etc. Do it every year or every “birthday” of a dog you have.

  I own large dogs and would be fine with this. I’m walking around with a weapon, if I train it to be so

    Do it every year? Tried to book a driving test lately?

    There are 13 million pet dogs in the UK let’s assume people own multiple dogs. That’s 10 million tests a year. Let’s assume the test are quite hard. That’s a few thousand (10,000?) additional dogs removed from owners each year that need to be rehomed or put down.

    Easier to neuter, muzzle and outlaw proscribed breeds.

  I was saying that there should be.

    That’s a _lot_of infrastructure, training centres, test infrastructure to build up. Then lots of fun law to write, such as - am I - as an unlicensed person, allowed to look after my brother’s dog for the weekend if they go away?

    If there are four of us in the household, do we _all_have to be licensed to take the dog for a walk?

      Interesting point, it should be the owners responsibility to hold a licence only. If its abused such like a car. The licence should be revoked permanently.
