- encourage responsible dog ownership
- inform the general public, including parents and carers of young children, of the risks that all dogs can present
- develop public understanding of dog behaviour
- encourage people to behave in ways that do not provoke a dog to attack
- develop public awareness of dog control legislation and territorial authority powers, including how to report problem dogs.
