About Yorkshire Dales Dogs
Yorkshire Dales Dogs is an information resource dedicated to promoting responsible dog ownership in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. We encourage dog owners to follow the Countryside Code and be considerate and mindful of livestock.
By providing resources, tips, and advice we aim to help dog owners make the most of their time in the Yorkshire Dales, whilst respecting the natural habitat, local wildlife and other visitors.
​
By signposting local dog services, it is our objective to aid access to all the information they need to have a happy dog (and human!).

All this has been inspired by some very impressive work by people who really know their stuff.
The work carried out by the Dorset Dogs team has been so successful that they now provide training for others so to replicate their successes and approaches.

About the future
This is a journey, and we are only at the beginning!

If you want to be involved or think we should add something to the site, then please get in touch.
​
This is all about positive solutions, and we welcome suggestions about how to help owners and visitors to the Yorkshire Dales to access and look after the places they visit.

There are many aims for the future, including building relationships with landowners and managers to work together to make the Dales accessible to visitors with dogs and promote positive behaviours.
