Can anyone advise?

Where I live there are loads of dogs off the lead, running around and pooping everywhere..

There's kids that play in the area and they are also ways standing in the poop, it's totally disgusting and it smells!I hate this! Plus the dogs are going to bite someone one day for sure!

What can I do about it? Who can I report them too?

I agree with you. It makes me sad how many people decide they want a pet and then change their mind and just abandon it somewhere or makes it someone else's problem. If the dogs start becoming a hassle I usually go to security and report it there.

Well I can see your point but this region is not dog friendly as a whole and irresponsible owners ruin it.. I wish all dogs were banned here actually. That would stop the illegal trade and puppy farming. It's too hot for most dogs, nowhere to run around, not welcome in 95% of public spaces etc. so don't get/ bring a dog here. any time I've spoke to an owner either about poop or off the lead they either have a go at me or just ignore. I've given up now and want to take a different kind of action by reporting them to somewhere.

I see both sides- as a dog owner myself I am often left frustrated because of the lack of safe spaces for dogs to run around. I agree that those owners that let them off the leash and don't clean up after them should be held accountable- it's sad thought that there's not many places we can take for our pooch to have a safe run around. Dogs shouldn't be in kids play areas here anyway so that's illegal, next time it happens just kindly suggest they move away from the park... but appreciate there's not many places to take dogs in Dubai!
