I've just googled it.. firstly they havent banned it. What they are saying is people cant drive out to take the dog somewhere for a walk.... they also are saying the same to people looking to drive somewhere to exercise.

Did not know that "draconian laws" were an antidote to Corona Virus.

Think the Police would be well advised to keep the public on their side and not antagonise people. Even today policing in Britain is by the consent of the public. We are not China...

you are allowed to walk the dog. What they have said is that if you can.. try to make it part of your exercise. And possibly get individual members of the family to take the dog out. IF NOT you are still allowed to walk the dog. People reporting people for walking dogs seriously need to have a word with themselves

I find just walking down the road with just a lead with a secret wire in it in comedy fashion so it looks like I am walking an invisible dog, keep calling its name and throwing invisible tennis balls, usually ensures social distancing people give you lots of room, especially if I wear my moose hat and the jumper my nana knitted me with a giant fluffy kitten on it.

Look at like this, this virus is transmitted by people and the movement of people. The less you move from your corner the better. There is also the additional risk of an RTA when you use a car. Off course people are going want make exceptions for their own circumstances.

Animal. Mineral. Vegetable.

Check out how long the virus can stay alive on certain surfaces.

After taking your dog for a walk off the lead. And it has sniffed every dogs cock it has come in contact with. And the other dog walkers dog has sniffed your crotch. You are so happy when you get back home. You give your dog a nice big kiss

yes but as with most things like people saying dog walking is illegal.. people tend to only read the start. So before people go on and on I thought I would point out that cats dont. In fact animals are not spreading this version of the virus at all.

Far more important things for people to be worrying about.. I'm sure people have better things to do with their time rather than moaning at people for walking their dogs.

People are in their cars.. not mixing with other people. Hardly a risk of spreading it .

I was a little dumbfounded by the news of that today. As a NHS worker when not in work I am trying to stay away from others- much further away than the 2 metres (apart from when delivering care packages)

So I had chosen to drive my dog for his walk away to a empty field just a 10 min drive away where we will not be in contact with anyone else at all this to me was the safest option and meant my dog could run. If I have to exercise him nearer home on a lead he won't be getting enough exercise on one walk and I have more chance of being close to others

This is far too sensible to even be considered real !

Why does it matter if you get in your own car with your own dog and drive 10 minutes to walk the dog ?

where I live there are loads of people walking their dogs along the canal towpath, surely driving to a more remote common or moor would make more sense.

I have not read the article, nor do I have a dog but really, some people need to think before they try to impose rules that make no sense.

We all know what situation we are in (or should do by now).

I disagree with this new rule as it doesnt really make sense.

But i believe it to be somthing to do with uneccesasy driving because eventually you will need to go garage and get petrol.

Theres only roads by me and my dog needs a good run on a field in the park.

Keep telling yourselves that it's better to drive for 10 minutes to somewhere quiet to walk your dog, go for a run etc and they will eventually put in a stricter lockdown as there will be so many people with what they see as a reasonable excuse for going for a drive.

I do find it quite ironic that for years we have been told the police cannot be out on the streets patrolling. Recently attended a meeting with our MP and local police chief: every excuse in the book as why they could not send anyone to sort out the local "yoof" in a nearby park. Along comes Corona virus all of sudden "Bingo".....they can be found.

No doubt hoping the new fines become a revenue stream..

Cynical, you bet I am. Never trusted politicians and trust in the Police is ebbing away...and at the end of it all they want the support of the public...

This may have already been answered, but what's the issue with this? If you live in a busy town, getting in a car and going out to the country where there's no one nearby to infect or infect you has to be better than walking from your house around a neighborhood with other people walking around it, passing you close by on narrow pavements.

They think it's beneficial to get out and exercise but in cities there's not many places to go walk without being near other people out walking.

I walk a neighbours dog as they can't get out. I go early morning and rarely see anyone nevermind get close to them. Poor old bugger doesn't go far but that's my outdoor exercise done for the day. So sorry for being a filthy spreader. Luckily when I've needed to pick up a bit of food there's been no filthy spreadimg dog walkers. Shops heaving but no dog walkers fortunately.

Here in Spain, you can’t walk your dog any further that 30-50 meters from your home. Only one person at a time. My flat mate took hers out and eat stopped in the next street, and told to go back as she was too far from home with them.

Driving, only one person in the car at all times (exceptions being a single parent with nowhere to leave your kids) and you can only drive to get fuel, hospital, doctors etc

This is a full lockdown here and military arrived on Sunday although we haven’t seen them since

There was actually 7 and a dog.

I'm just demonstrating where we are at now!

People are checking how far they can walk their dog FFS.

Yes allowed /no not allowed

Reminding people where we are heading.

And yes just like here and all over facebook naming and shaming is the new social norm and I wouldn't steep so fucking low.

It started with the club goers but I wasn't a club goer

We’re lucky that it’s a 2 minute walk from the house to the woods. If we weren’t so close we'd really struggle exercising the dog. She needs a good run otherwise she’s hell to live with. To supplement she does agility in the garden thankfully but even that isn’t enough without a good run.

The problem has arisen from bellwhackers flouting the rules of dog walking to have a trip out. If people continue not to follow the rules the restrictions get worse and last longer. I don’t know how many people have to die before even the most ignorant wake up and stay the hell at home. Vulnerable people are suffering everyday because of their selfishness

"I just saw a group of 6 people walking their dog.

Disgusting and selfish.

They have no shame did you tell them what you thought of them

Did my good Samaritan bit and spread the news on Facebook.

People loved me for it.

I bet you feel so much better for doing that.. I would never report anyone or "name and shame them", just wouldn't do it.. Live and let live...

I'm fucking with you.

There was actually 7 and a dog.

I'm just demonstrating where we are at now!

People are checking how far they can walk their dog FFS.

Yes allowed /no not allowed

Reminding people where we are heading.

And yes just like here and all over facebook naming and shaming is the new social norm and I wouldn't steep so fucking low.

It started with the club goers but I wasn't a club goer

Then it was the dog walker.

I'm lucky and back on to fields and the back end of a country park x

You're one of the lucky ones aren't you, some don't have that luxury and can't now

By the way people will be reporting people for walking the dogs you are allowed to walk the dog. What they have said is that if you can.. try to make it part of your exercise. And possibly get individual members of the family to take the dog out. IF NOT you are still allowed to walk the dog. People reporting people for walking dogs seriously need to have a word with themselves "

Dogs in big families loving it getting several walks a day

Local supermarket had best part of 200 people stood outside and queueing (resembles a waiting line for alton towers ) and people are moaning about dog walkers.....and people passing briefly....

I know which id prefer....quick passing of people in fresh air or stood in a car park with an amount of people hardly moving...

Maybe the reason they are trying to keep people of off the road is to alleviate the NHS of around 2000 casualties each month

They work in pairs for safety, putting themselves at risk yo carry on doing thier jobs and protect the community. The attitudes on this thread are pretty odd, and Ivm pretty sure most of those who are complaining and whinging will also have been making themselves feel proud by giving a round of applause to the NHS.

Yes. I'm sorry if my language is a little harsh, but if you think "clap for the NHS" is tbe limit of your responsibility in this, that any of the measures put in place to fight the spread of this virus shouldn't apply to you, or that the emergency services that are putting themselves at risk to enforce those measures are to be pilloried, then yes, shut up, you are the problem

I really can't see how a person or members of the same household, getting in their own car to go for a walk somewhere that is as far away as reasonably possible from other people could possibly be a major risk of spreading the virus. In fact I think they'd be far more likely to spread the virus walking around their more crowded local neighbourhood, whether they have a dog with them or not.

Yes I guess it's possible they could have an RTA which would mean that responders may have to called out and there's an increased risk of spread then but they could equally have an accident at home that might require responders to attend. And I can't see that going the filling station once a fortnight or month is any more risky than going to the supermarket for food; probably a lot less.

I think we should all concentrate are efforts on hand hygiene and social distancing and stop worrying ourselves about where people are walking, how they're getting there or how long they spend doing it.

It's to stop large numbers of people gathering at certain locations. You did see the pictures over the weekend of hundreds of cars at local beauty spots? The guy driving to a forest in the middle of nowhere isn't doing any harm, but is unfortunately collateral damage, but a small price to pay to save lives is it not?

like many things in life the government are trying to deal with those stupid people who think a day out in Snowdonia or at the seaside is a good idea at the moment; as well as trying to allow the more reasonable people to do sensible things.

Are your figures from ROSPA? They claim that more than two million of them are children under 15, and there are varied figures on how many are made up from the older generation through falls where they have difficulty looking after themselves.

Generally these aren't going to be the ones sat behind the wheel so the statistics being compared isn't really balanced.

People being in their homes, keeping an eye on their kids and teaching them about safety and also checking up on older family members could bring those figures down and help the NHS even further.

It's got to be more helpful than clapping on the doorstep.

If I thought it would actually save even one life then it might be worth it but as I believe that both the walkers, their dogs and other people around are more safe if they are spread out as much as possible, I actually believe that this banning of people being allowed to walk in deserted countryside and forcing them to only walk in crowded towns, cities and urban parks is actually far more likely to increase spread and with it death than not.

I’m not sure on this but if the virus stays on clothing & people does it stay on fur?

Person A drives to field 20 miles away but is infected

Person B lives next to field but whole area is not infected for 15 miles around field.

Person A dog has a good run around then owner & dog leave.

Person B walks dog in same field, smells where dog A has scented, had a good rummage as dogs do.

Owner pets dog, contracts virus from fur, passes it around there otherwise uninflected area.

Isn’t this why we’re socially distancing?

Don’t get me started on cats!

I agree and the whole comment was a bit tongue in cheek. I don't really think that stopping people isolating at home would help anything.

But I also think things should only be banned or prohibited on the real risk of what they are doing, not some hypothetical risk of what might happen in an unlikely worst case scenario. In that regard, as I've said else were, I don't believe that people getting in their own cars to take a quiet walk as far away from other as is reasonably possible is a particular high spread risk, and that it's probably less of a risk than taking a walk around a more crowded neighbourhood of park, whether they actually have a dog with them or not.

Yes, some people do that, other people go to very popular spots, where there ends up being a lot of other people doing the same!

Same here, and as much as I'd love to take the pooch to our usual walking spots, I'm happy to compromise in the meantime if it helps the people who need us off of the road. Less traffic helps the emergency services and key workers get to where they "NEED" to be. Someone driving around just to walk about is the equivalent to driving to the gym and then walking on a treadmill. If you live somewhere built up, there will still be quieter times of the day when there will be less people.

I spoke to a guy the other day who is boarding 3 dogs for his NHS friends, so they don't have to fret about the long hours that they're now being asked to do. On the flip side, how many pets are thrilled to have their owners around a lot more these days.

I don't think anyonw deliberately put theirs or anyone elses lives at risk last weekend. The messaging up until Monday on outdoor gatherings was unclear. Only the week before people were being told that gathering in groups or 10s of 1000s at sporting events was safer than a few 10s gathering in an indoor pub to watch it on TV. If I'd gone out to the park last weekend and seen other people wondering around it I wouldn't have been too worried on the advice I had at the time. If a went now and there were more than a few dozen well spaced out I would definitely turn around and go back home. People aren't suicidal. If you give them the right information most will make the right choices.

If the government and the authorities want the good will of the people, which they do need to make this work, then they most not force people to do things that are clearly more dangerous for them (such as having to walk in a crowded neighbourhood or park) than other alternatives (such walking in the empty countryside).

"it's not about going to the empty country side, it's about a lot of people going to popular dog walking spots, encountering people from other areas who have traveled there also, who may be carrying the virus and possibly carrying it back with them! Is that so difficult to grasp?? And if a blanket ban makes easier to police then so be it. Can you really not get your head around that or are you just trolling??

I haven`t read the whole thread so I`m sorry if what I`ve said below has already been said.

You think that driving x miles to walk the dog/ride your bike/ walk miles in an area where there is "nobody else" is OK? So you needed to fuel your vehicle to start with - contact with a person in the filling station.

Like some elderly lady did, you drive some distance to walk the dog/go running/cycling and you have an accident? Result is even more contact with other people who are already under pressure dealing with people who are ill with the virus!

I`ve heard of dogs being let off leads because it`s quiet, only for them to run amock through fields of sheep who are giving birth to lambs resulting in lambs being aborted, sheep being attacked to the point where they have to be put down if they aren`t already dead.

I`m quite proud that my county has got one of the lowest figures of confirmed cases in the country despite having two large tourist towns. The last thing we need is people ignoring the basic Government advice of STAY AT HOME!

"That should do it.

The dirty spreaders."

Where did you find out such a nonsensical theory. Dogwalking is not, never has been and never will be banned.

Your wilfulness to poop a party is admirable.

And equally the less people at home the less accidents at home.

Respect the law and have some respect for your fellow citizens.

I'm not ignoring anything. I've addressed the points raised on RTAs (more accidents happen in the home than on the roads), I've addressed the issue of fuelling (far less risk of spreading than a trip to the supermarket) and I've addressed the issue of loads of people turning up to the same remote place to walk (if it's more crowded than you thought turn around and go home).

However you seem to be totally ignoring and failing to answer my point so I'll ask you directly.

How is it more dangerous to walk somewhere where there is nobody (the empty countryside) than anywhere where there is somebody (a crowded neighbourhood or park)?

I could explain this again, but that would be fairly pointless. You are determined to be a contrarian fir whatever reason and not playing anymore. But this is one of the measures put in place to keep people from moving around and to save lives. Be a responsible member of society and obey the rules just for a few weeks, for the greater good.

Let's look at this sensibly.

You have to live somewhere be it a house, flat, boat, camper van.

So you can't totally stop people from having accidents in the home but if you stop people driving you have removed the chance of people having an accident in their cars or on their motorcycle.

You have to eat, so you have to shop, home delivery is very difficult to arrange at the moment, so you have to go to the supermarket or shops, most are putting a limit on the number of people in their store and are asking people to observe the 2 meter rule.

If you go out in your car, you need fuel, you could also break down or get a puncture which then causes unnecessary interaction.

You should go out as little as possible whether it's walking, shopping etc.

Obviously I understand that Dave the forklift truck driver has an argument against every reason to do as he is asked and knows better than every expert and scientist on the plant.

Exactly the same way as he should be running the English football team even though the last exercise he did was at school 35 years ago.

It's simple, follow the rules or suffer the consequences...

"Dog walkers spreading the virus.

Shame on them.

Glad more Draconian laws are being introduced to save us all"

I suspect my dog is much more cleaner than you and I am at much less risk due to my location than the majority who live in towns and cities

although having 3 acres of Garden means the dog can run as free as he wishes

You couldn't explain again because you've not even explained once. You've given some unlikely scenarios as to what could happen if everything that could possibly go wrong does go wrong as an excuse for forcing people to do something that is clearly and definitely more dangerous than the thing they want to do.

Here's the numbers for you.

If go for a walk anywhere where there is nobody there is zero chances of you either spreading the virus or catching it.

If you go for a walk where there is 1 other person there is a chance of you either spreading the virus or catching it.

If you go for a walk where there are 2 other people the chance of you spreading or catching the virus is 2 times what it would be if there was only 1 other person there.

If you go for a walk where there are 3 other people the chance of you spreading or catching the virus 4 times what it would be if there was only 1 other person there.

If you go for a walk where there are 4 other people the chance of you spreading or catching the virus 8 times what it would be if there was only 1 other person there.

If you go for a walk where there are 5 other people the chance of you spreading or catching the virus 16 times what it would be if there was only 1 other person there.

If you go for a walk where there are 6 other people the chance of you spreading or catching the virus 32 times what it would be if there was only 1 other person there.

If you go for a walk where there are 7 other people the chance of you spreading or catching the virus 64 times what it would be if there was only 1 other person there.

If you go for a walk where there are 8 other people the chance of you spreading or catching the virus 128 times what it would be if there was only 1 other person there.

To be clear. If you go for a walk somewhere where there are only 8 other people you are over 100 times more likely to spread or catch the virus than if you walk somewhere where there is only one other person, and infinitely more likely than if you walk somewhere where there is nobody.

These numbers far out weigh any possible risk from a breakdown, accident or fortnightly visit to a fuel station.

Now, please, tell me again how forcing people to walk in a places where they are in much higher risk of spreading or catching the virus is better and safer than allowing then to walk in places where there is little or no risk; regardless how they get there or whether they have a dog or not.
