Over recent years staycation holiday’s in our beautiful British countryside have become increasingly popular and sheep worrying is a very real problem. See the links below for the latest legislation and farmers concerns. Every dog owner’s nightmare is not knowing how to effectively control and manage their dog around livestock. Come and learn how to confidently control and manage your dog around sheep.
On Friday December 5th 2025, the law on sheep and livestock worrying in England and Wales has been updated, most notably by lifting the maximum fine to an unlimited amount. The Dogs (Protection of Livestock) (Amendment) Bill 2024-25 has successfully become law and will officially come into force on March 18, 2026.
