In Italy we dog walkers are often amazed at the lengths the community vigili go to to increase their funds. especially in the city you will be fined if your dog goes off lead in a city park,leads for the sidewalks have to be 1.20 m or less.You have to pick up poo( I agree with this) but can be fined if you are not carrying at least 3 poo bags per dog.On one occasion I have been summoned to cross a busy main road with my two st poodles ,by a police car so they could count the number of poo bags I was carrying.Luckily I always carry a roll of small freezer bags in my bum bag...You also have to carry on your person a soft muzzle for each dog or you will be fined.
....the latest law to come into effect this month has me staggered...in some regions you now have to carry a water bottle to throw on each and every wee your dog does in the city street...if you are seen to allow dog to pee and not clean it the fines can be as high as 500 euros. WOW.Literally taking the P or what?
