Change Current Dog Ordinance and Inclusion of Dangerous Animal Regulation For Oak Grove. Ky.
Final supporters
To help prevent this from happening again in our community, we propose these changes to the ordinance. We want compulsory registration and microchipping of all dogs in the city limits. Enforcement of current leash laws, and stricter penalty for infractions. No dogs are to be tethered or chained in the city limits. Bites are more common with chained dogs, because of the psychological, emotional, and behavioral effects being tethered or chained causes.Pit Bulls,Rottweilers,Dalmatians, Mastiffs, German Shepherds, Doberman Pincers, Chows, and other potentially dangerous dogs must be annually tested for temperament. If they fail, owners must muzzle them when on the street, have a secure enclosure, post a hazardous animal sign on their property, and carry liability insurance on the animal until the behavioral problems are corrected, through approved training, and the animal successfully passes the temperament test. Service dogs must have their own certification and temperament testing. The city also needs additional animal control officers to help with enforcement.
If these few simple steps are taken by the city, we all will benefit from the peace of mind in knowing our families are safer, in our community. Problem dogs will get the help they need, and our neighborhoods, will be a better place.

Oh, and I almost forgot, you don't have to live here. We do!
You have left out the dogs with the highest bite rates in the United States: Chihuahuas, Min Pins, and other small dogs. According to the American Temperment Society most of the dogs you listed are the best tempermentes breeds. Stop the hate of big dogs! I am the proud owner of a Rottweiler and have had to sell my house and move because of people like you. You need to concentrate on responsible pet ownership instead of the breed of dog. If you want Temperment testing, then test all and not just a select few breeds. Rediculous!!!

I have a doberman pincer and have included my dog. Last week I watched a neighbor have to shoot a pit bull because it killed his dog and then turned on him. A year or so ago a family the next street over lost a child to a german shepherd attack. And yes the breeds listed for testing do normally have great temperament, so responsible owners should be fine, the ones that beat their dog/ abuse them, encourage aggression will not. And they are the targeted animals and owners. I would gladly submit to the testing if that means that my two year old is safe from being mauled by someone else's animal. Also please don't insult me for trying to help. So you are one of the people like me. A responsible dog owner.
