There are interesting comments on the Chiswick forum including the requirements for dog collars to have full name/address details on owners and whether this is a legal requirement etc.  Apparently this is the way that fines would be administered.  Seems incredibly far-fetched to me and I agree that this would be incredibly hard for the council or the police to enforce. All dog owners I know personally are responsible, but it only takes a few to make such a huge problem.  I have personally challenge a few such owners in the past to be either met with a barrage of abuse or being totally ignored.   I particularly remember years ago an owner walking well ahead of his very old or possibly physically impaired dog who was dragging its behind along the pavement to clean itself after leaving a especially delightful 'deposit' - which was of course dragged along with it. In this case I was stared at in amazement that I had dared to speak to him about such an apparently trivial incident and then walked hurridly away.  It is certainly not trivial when I have to ask my kids not to scoot too fast to school in case they fall in said mess.  Luckily they are a little older now and more stable on their feet (and scooters!)
