YESTERDAY, A DOG behavioural expert called for a “mandatory theory test” to be introduced for people seeking to obtain a dog licence.

Speaking at the Joint Oireachtas Agriculture Committee yesterday evening, Nanci Creedon said that prospective dog owners need to be “educated a competent level” and that a theory test should be implemented by the Government.
