But the most pressing problem that the Pawsome pet guide wants to address is that of pet ownership ethics and etiquette.

Proper etiquette for a dog owner includes leashing the animal in public and picking up after them.

One of the most notable incidents related to this was when a dog owner in Hangzhou assaulted a woman who kicked his pet last year.

According to media reports, the latter kicked the dog, which was not leashed, as it was harassing her two children on the street.

The incident resulted in the authorities introducing a curfew for dog-walking and prohibiting the animal from entering public areas such as markets and green spaces.

Over in Shanghai, it is also common to see elderly people walk their dogs off-leash. Along the promenade at the West Bund, park wardens can often be seen telling pet owners to leash their dogs.
