Man given dog control order

A MAN has been told he must put a muzzle on his dog and keep it on a lead after it was found to be dangerously out of control.

David Pal Singh's Japanese Akita dog must also undergo obedience training as part of a dog control order issued by Nottingham magistrates.

The order was made after Singh, of Ullswater Crescent, Bramcote, was found guilty of two charges of allowing the dog to be dangerously out of control in a public place.

It was aggressive towards people while Singh's juvenile daughter was meant to be in charge of it.

The first incident occurred in Wollaton Road, Beeston, on February 5. The second happened in Central Avenue, Beeston, on March 1.

Council neighbourhood wardens had visited Singh on two occasions before the incidents and advised how to keep his dog under control.

At the hearing at Nottingham Magistrates' Court, he was given a 12-month conditional discharge for each offence.
