Bring in compulsory registration for dog owners with a theory test on DDA

Petition Details

Linked to the microchip of the dog and the owner by address

A fee required to gain registration based on the dogs weight - as seen in car tax / vehicle emissions, with a yearly fee to renew

With a reported 11 million dogs currently living in the UK better education on how to keep dogs under control in everyday circumstances,
