  • Dog attack or aggressive behaviour
  • Nuisance behaviour (barking, straying or fouling dog)

Step 2.Your details and location

  • Your name, address and contact phone number
  • Your physical location, including house or RAPID number

Step 3.Describe the situation

Tell us the exact nature of situation, and whether it is aggressive or nuisance behaviour that you are reporting, including:

  • what was attacked or rushed at (person, animal, vehicle)
  • or nature of nuisance - straying, fouling on a property, barking, or getting into rubbish
  • is the dog still there?

Step 4.Describe the dog

It helps us if you can give a detailed description of the dog (breed, colour, gender, and registration details, if known)
