Change the DDA 1991 to stop breed bans and focus on behaviour

Summary

We ask the Government to reform the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 by removing breed-specific legislation and replacing it with behaviour-based laws. We think legislation should focus on responsible ownership, training, and education to improve public safety without unfairly targeting certain dog breeds. Evidence suggests breed-specific laws have not reduced dog attacks and we consider they unfairly punish dogs based on looks, not behaviour. Data shows aggression is linked to ownership and training. We believe we need effective, evidence-based laws that focus on behaviour, enforce accountability, and support public education to truly keep people safe.
