Dear Colleagues, 
Introduction
Following a highly successful his 2016 and 2017 series of Dangerous Dogs Law seminars, the UK’s top Dangerous Dogs Law Lawyer Trevor Cooper of Cooper & Co Solicitors (“Dog Law”) has announced that he will Chair two Symposium events entitled "What is the Solution to Dangerous Dogs?" Each symposium will be a day-long event and they are likely to produce a lively debate and will have a selection of high profile panelists from the dog law and dog control world. The dates and locations announced are to be Monday 13th November 2017 in Runcorn in the north west of England and Monday 19th February 2018 in London. 
Background
The Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 has been in force for 26 years in Great Britain. Despite this, the number of incidents where dogs have acted dangerously appears to be rising leaving many victims in their wake. Are we witnessing a rise in dangerous dogs, an increase in irresponsible dog owners, or is there some other reason? When incidents take place the media often demand “Something must be done!” However, no one has yet found the answer/s. What is the solution to dangerous dogs? In this symposium Trevor Cooper is bringing together a broad range of experts to explore options to prevent future incidents. Those interested are invited to attend and make their voice heard – they want to hear from people. Alternatively, attendees are welcome to come along to listen to the debate and draw their own conclusions. Each of these symposia will be held between 10am and 4pm at hotel venues in the Runcorn area on 13th November 2017 and South West London on 19th February 2018. Beverages and lunch will be provided together with a certificate of attendance.
