<p>Defra commissioned research on responsible dog ownership with Middlesex University.
The research aims to update the review Defra commissioned previously in 2010 which
considered risk factors around dog attacks, as well as reviewing the use of enforcement
around dog control issues, identifying best practice case studies and how to promote
responsible dog ownership. As part of the research, the team will draw on relevant
evidence from a number of EU countries including the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium
and Spain. The research is due to be completed by the end of 2019. The Government
will discuss the findings with stakeholders including dog welfare organisations who
have contributed to the research.</p>
