Care for your pet

On training: Loh (right) says it is not necessary to send dogs for proper training but it should be done at home with simple commands.

THE Shah Alam City Council’s (MBSA) decision to enforce guidelines that require the consent of immediate neighbours before a dog owner can get the licence for their pet, has its fair share of supporters and detractors.

Some say it is understandable if a homeowner is reluctant to live next door to a neighbour with a dog that barks incessantly, defecates in front of their house or poses a threat to others.
