There have been 52 reports of either people or livestock being injured in the past 12 months from out-of-control dogs.
Guernsey Police have published advice to dog owners following a rise in out-of-control pets - on average one a week over the period of a year.
They say owners should be aware of their surroundings when releasing the lead and be confident their dog will obey commands.
Putting your dog in a situation where they end up chasing farm animals, wildlife or other pets can have serious consequences, and in the most serious cases, result in prosecution.
The force demonstrated "good recall" on the Bailiwick Law Enforcement Facebook page:
