In this survey, we ask you for your experiences of dog control in Bristol and your views on the proposal to renew the Dog Control PSPO for the next three years. Most of the questions are multiple choice. In question 8 you can tell us in your own words any comments or suggestions you have about this proposal.
We also ask some ‘about you’ questions to see if people in different circumstances have different views, but we do not ask for your name or anything that will tell us who you are. You can choose to skip any questions you don’t want to answer.
Please make sure you submit your response by 28 September 2026.
