Module 2: Responsible dog walking in Scotland’s great outdoors

Welcome to this online course for dog walkers produced by Scottish Natural Heritage in association with Natalie Light Training and Behaviour. 

We aim to give you the information and skills you need to walk your dog responsibly and with confidence in the outdoors so that you and your dog will be welcome wherever you go.

Everyone in Scotland has access to most land and inland water to enjoy a wide range of recreational activities, including dog walking, as long as you follow the advice in the Scottish Outdoor Access Code.

Scotland has some of the best access rights in the world so being sure of your rights and responsibilities will help you enjoy the outdoors to the full and keep you happily within the law.
