Take a walk after excreting!

Many consultations have been received, such as "The manure is left unattended and odors and dirt are in trouble."

No shashin

It is the owner's duty to treat feces.
Discipline to excrete at home before taking a walk, and be sure to bring your feces back if you excrete during a walk.
Aoba Ward is promoting "walking manners for dogs that go one step further."
Urine can cause odors to remain just by pouring water. Take care of "one step forward" such as wearing a manner belt or diaper, and sucking urine with pet sheets.

Video "The Walking Manner of Dogs Steps A Step Ahead"

The number of registered dogs in Aoba Ward is the number one in the city! We have created a video about dog walking manners with the aim of Aoba Ward where both dog owners and non-dogs can live comfortably. Let's make the Aoba Ward proud of the manners of walking dogs one step further.
・Whole version (approx. 2 minutes and 30 seconds)

・Digest version (about 1 minute)

Let's think about the squeal!

The time spent at home, such as working from home, has become longer, and consultations on "squeals" are increasing!
There are some reasons for the dog to squeal, such as wanting to play with the owner and singing, wanting rice and singing.
Observe your dog carefully, think about measures that match the cause (reason), and implement them.
If it doesn't work, consult a specialist such as veterinarian or trainer.
The owner is obliged to manage it so that it does not bother others due to animal squeals, hairs, odors, etc.

Reed is a lifeline that connects the owner and the dog!

"There are people who release dogs and can't enter the park." Consultations such as "A big dog came near and I was scared!"
Extreme stretching of no-leads and stretch leads can cause lost or accidents, which is extremely dangerous.
Be sure to wear a lead on your dog and hold it short for control.
Never release your dog during walks or parks.
