Farmers Guardian was speaking to dog owners at the Just Dogs Live three day event at the East of England showground at the weekend, where thousands of people visited to take part in the show and see various seminars and demonstrations.

She added: “It is such an important issue and one the society takes incredibly seriously. That is why we felt it was important to invite FG to take a stand at the event and educate the public about the Take the Lead campaign.”
Thousands of dog owners turned out to the three day Just Dogs Live event in Peterborough.
