Germans must walk their dogs twice a day, new law will say
Germans must walk their dogs twice a day, new law will say
Minister to introduce law next year to ensure nation’s 9.4 million dogs get enough exercise
Wed 19 Aug 2020 13.56
Germany’s dog owners will soon to be ordered by law to walk their pets twice a day.
The country’s agriculture minister, Julia Klöckner, has said she is introducing the new law based on evidence that many of the nation’s 9.4 million dogs are not getting the exercise or stimuli they need.
Under the new regulations in the Hundeverordnung, or Dogs Act, owners will not get away with a quick jog round the block, but will be required to take their dogs out for at least one hour on each occasion.
Klöckner said the rules were based on new scientific findings that show dogs need a “sufficient measure of activity and contact with environmental stimuli”, including other animals, nature and people. The tethering of dogs on a chain or a lead for long periods also faces an all-out ban.
Dogs may not be left alone at home all day, and a person will be required to take care of their dog “several times a day”.

Got to be a joke about a Dachshund in there somewhere.
Yes sir, I can boogie, I can boogie, boogie, boogie all night long.
Re: Germans must walk their dogs twice a day, new law will say
How very German. On a practical note though, how will this be enforced? Is your dog supposed to file a police complaint against you if you fail to walk them adequately?
Julia Klöckner is more cow than dog, in any case.

What I am wondering. But actually that article mentioned only part of the proposed law. A lot of it has do do with how dogs are kept, how many dogs breeders can keep, etc.

Don't forget the Germans, "have ways of making you walk"
