"The ACT is proposing new laws that would require dog owners to spend a minimum of three hours per day with their dogs. This is part of a draft Code of Practice for the Welfare of Dogs in the ACT. The code also includes restrictions on surgical debarking and the use of retractable leads. "

Seriously ridiculous proposed laws. i know some ppl just leave their dogs unattended for long periods of time but how the heck do they think they are gunna enforce it.

Also- ppl "debark" dogs? WTH? why is that legal in the first place?

A half hour daily walk with your dog will do more to make the dog happy and adjusted than 3 hours.

Bark collars can teach the dog not to bark.
