effectively secured to some fixed object by a collar and chain; or

accompanied by, and under the effectual control of, the owner or some responsible person authorised by him for the purpose.

(2)

Any dog which is not kept under control in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph may be seized by the local authority or by the police, and dealt with in the same manner as a stray dog seized under the powers conferred by section 3 of the Dogs Act 1906.

(3)

An inspector may, by notice served on the occupier of any premises on which any dog or poultry is kept, require him to keep such dog or poultry under such control as may be specified in the notice, or to confine that dog or poultry to the part of the premises specified in the licence.
