nucklehead Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/cameron-banned-from-uplands-dog-park-langley-1.4928650?fbclid=IwAR1lPp1aOCTqEibzY3K4iTYSbPmCJdkxE10m0xcud9AOOUvM_i6oCocBI2Q Quote Cameron the Shetland sheepdog's main offence is running next to the park's fence and barking at cars. Cameron, a Shetland sheepdog, isn't an aggressive dog. He's not known for fighting other dogs at the dog park, or growling and biting anybody. Rather, Cameron has been banned from Langley's Uplands off-leash dog park for running along the fence and barking at passing cars. Cameron's owner, John Levesque, received the ban from Langley City officials last week, and it's hitting the 67-year-old veteran hard. Levesque, who struggles with PTSD, has found companionship and healthy exercise at the vast Uplands off-leash park. Before the ban, his routine at the park started at about 7:30 each morning. He met a few of the regulars there, who would stroll around the kilometre-long trail with him, while their dogs ran around. Layne Pennington is one of the people who enjoyed Levesque and Cameron's company each morning. "The dogs should be able to come to the off-leash dog park and be able to be dogs," Pennington said. "So the whole community of the dog park is quite upset about it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xereau Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Just bring him back. Make them enforce it. Civil disobedience is a necessary thing sometimes. And then do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonoman Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 This is absolutely ridiculous. Shelties are herders and love to work. Yeah they bark, but if it’s not “after hours”, why should city officials care. Free Cameron. My Sheltie loved nothing better than herding the other dogs at the park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancaster Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Shouldn't just a muzzle and being required to be leashed be sufficient? An outright ban does seem a bit excessive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
