Green Dog Walkers® is an original scheme adopted by over 40 councils across the country. Chichester District Council have joined this scheme as it offers a proven, non-confrontational and friendly way to change attitudes about dog fouling and encourages responsible dog ownership. Most importantly, the Green Dog Walkers® scheme acts as a reminder to others that they need to pick up after their dog has fouled and keep them under control.

Green Dog Walkers® sign a pledge to:

• always clean up after their dog;

• dispose of the bag responsibly;

• carry extra dog waste bags;

• gladly give a bag to those without one; and

• be a friendly reminder to other dog walkers to clean up after their dogs.

In return, they receive one of our enamel Green Dog Walkers® badges to display on their coat or dog lead, a car window sticker and a leaflet about our campaign.

Green Dog Walkers® are role models for responsible dog ownership. As well as ensuring that they clean up after their dogs, they:

• ensure their dog is microchipped;

• keep their dog under control at all times; and,

• stay safe around farm animals and ground nesting birds.
