Dog Law Ireland

Dog Law Ireland came together at a pivotal point in Ireland’s dog control landscape - shortly after the announcement of Ireland’s plan to have its first banned type of dog. It was at that time that something we’d all long been aware of was highlighted to us once again - very few people actually understand the laws relating to dogs in Ireland. 

We believe that education and enforcement are key to improving lives for dogs & it is with this in mind that we formed Dog Law Ireland. Our journey began with a simple yet powerful idea - to educate people, to advocate for better laws and to push for greater enforcement.
