About Course

A dog is great company and a reason to get out every day. This course covers how to walk your dog without being pulled over, the legal rules on collars, tags and microchips, keeping your dog under control in public, and planning for times when you cannot walk your dog yourself.

Tutwoo is an independent learning provider. This course gives general information. Ask your vet or a qualified trainer about your own dog. Some rules on dogs differ in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and councils set their own local rules.
