Although most videos show that dogs are on leashes, some of the training videos also show dogs off leashes during certain activities, specifically the attack training.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"h6\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<h3>Dogs all over the park<\/h3>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>A Vierlanden resident complained that he presents training classes in Boland Park opposite the Dutch Reformed Church Bergsig-Durbanville in Protea Way. \u201cIt is not only next to the children\u2019s playpark, but the whole of Boland Park is used by the dog trainer\u2019s clients. It involves a large number of dogs all over the park. My friend turned around with her small children yesterday,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cI am really cross that this man is abusing and using our public open spaces as he sees fit. He manages to intimidate anyone who objects. Another resident objected to him running his classes in the Vierlanden dog park and she got sworn at,\u201d a resident says.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\u201cAre we as residents expected to be terrorised in public spaces by groups of large, potentially vicious dogs?\u201d she asks.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">It was also reported that he presents dog training in Majik Forest too, as well as rent sports fields from Fairmont High School for this purpose.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">Francois Berry, councillor for Ward 105, says he does not agree with the use of parks for this purpose.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"h6\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<h3>No application<\/h3>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\u201cThere was no event application to perform such dog training in the ward. Some of the dogs are off leash and it is not safe for the residents,\u201d he says.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>Berry continues that the dog trainer did not follow procedures and that he, Berry, has requested the City of Cape Town\u2019s law enforcement unit to patrol the park area this past Saturday.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">However, the law enforcement officials only turned up after the class was already finished.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>According to Berry officials of the recreation and parks department confirmed to him they have not received any event application for dog training at a public place in recent months.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\u201cThe normal process to provide a formal booking confirmation, supported by the local subcouncil, will be applicable for such an event,\u201d Berry says he was told.<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cThe use of public open space and any City owned land requires permission to be utilised and especially for this required purpose. In the majority of parks, dogs are required to be on a leash at all times. Any commercial activity of this nature requires the necessary permissions from the asset owner,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">Wayne Dyason, spokesperson for the City\u2019s law enforcement department, says they will always respond to a complaint or request. <p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">\n<p>\u201cThe response time can be affected by officers arresting suspects, issuing fines or other urgent enforcement operations. The matter has been referred to the compliance unit of the City\u2019s recreation and parks department for investigation. The law enforcement department is awaiting feedback and recommendations from the investigation to see what action will be taken,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"p\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">Wilson, owner of Wayne Wilson Dog Training, commented to <em>TygerBurger<\/em> on enquiry that there are lots of other dog trainers doing the same in public parks and that it is not an organised event. He added that he contacted the SPCA and they had no issue with it. <p><\/p>\n<div class=\"lastline\" xml_lang=\"en-uk\">All transgressions or irregular use of public open spaces must be reported to the City\u2019s call centre on 021\u2009480\u20097700 (from a cellphone) or 107 (from a landline).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Residents
