CAS is often approached by people who despair of the behaviour of some dog owners. We give as much advice as we can and we can always let people have a copy of the Andalucian Law for Animal Protection.
My recent complaint concerned a neighbour, living on a local Urbanisation, whose dog is allowed to run around the streets and defecate where it wishes. The owner simply opens the door and lets it out! So no “picking up” occurs.
I was able to tell the anxious enquirer, that the President of the Urbansiation can take action as allowing a dog to roam free and the failure to pick up any dog mess is ILLEGAL. Both the running free and the uncollected excrement are offenses which attract considerable fines and the local police can be required to act.

I am sure I am not alone in my desmay of dog owners who allow their dogs to foul areas which are overlooked by owners flats because it is not a pretty sight a) to watch a dog defecate from your balcony and b) to have to look at the excrement which is left behind. In my case it is an English woman who should know better and unfortunely it is the dogs who get a bad name and reputation and the lady in question should be ashamed that she has no consideration for other people who must deal with what is her problem. People as irresponsible as this lady and others should not own a dog in the first place.
There should be far more policing of people who allow their dogs to defecate in areas which are not appropriate and fines should be heavy. It is not the dogs fault we know but unfortunately it is the dog that suffers in the end because people get fed up with seeing yet another dog on the urbanisation as you know almost for sure that means more dog crap left around due to irresponsible dog owners
