Most of our parks have areas fenced off with play equipment for kids in it and dogs are not allowed in these areas. The same goes for football and cricket pitches. Some beaches tried to ban dogs a few years ago but most were forced to allow dogs onto at least part of the beach in the summer and all of it in the winter.
We have a lot of hotels, holiday rentals, pubs etc. that will allow dogs in as long as they are behaved. If they are not they are asked to leave.
The Queen is a dog lover and has trained many of her own dogs, and still works them, to the gun. She also has a deep love of horses.
Sadly more and more people over here seem to see the dog as an extension of their wardrobe or an addition to what is in the garage!
