When walking your dog in a public place, what must you ensure?

Question #4baae09a · Modern Society
  1. That your dog wears a special dog coat
  2. That your dog wears a collar showing the name and address of the owner  ✓
  3. That your dog never strays more than 3 metres away from you
  4. That your dog does not come into contact with other dogs
Correct answer: B — A lot of people in the UK have pets such as cats or dogs. They might have them for company or because they enjoy looking after them. It is against the law to treat a pet cruelly or to neglect it. All dogs in public places must wear a collar showing the name and address of the owner. The owner is responsible for keeping the dog under control and for cleaning up after the animal in a public place.

Why this question matters

This question is drawn from the “A Modern, Thriving Society” section of the official Home Office handbook. Topics from this chapter make up a significant portion of the 24 questions in the real exam, so being able to answer this one comfortably is a small but real step towards passing on the day.

The accepted answer is B: “That your dog wears a collar showing the name and address of the owner”. Memorise the underlying fact rather than the option letter — the order of options changes between attempts, and the real exam may rephrase the question.
