Responsible Dog Ownership

Sorell Council has launched a new educational video aimed at promoting responsible dog ownership across the municipality.

The short video highlights key responsibilities for dog owners, including control in public spaces, and access rules for dogs on beaches and reserves. The initiative is part of Council’s ongoing commitment to community safety, animal welfare, and public awareness.

Dogs are a much-loved part of our community, but it’s important that owners understand their responsibilities, this video is an easy way for dog owners – both new and experienced – to get a clear overview of what’s expected in our area.”

The video is now available to watch via Council’s website, YouTube and social media channels.

Council encourages all dog owners, and those considering getting a dog, to take a few minutes to watch the video and help ensure Sorell remains a safe and dog-friendly community for everyone.
