First steps if you lose your dog in Consett

  1. 1

    Search outward along roads, paths and fields — a dog can cover several kilometres in the first few hours.

    Tip from locals

    Search outward toward Allensford, about 1.7 miles away, and the Shotley Bridge Station Picnic Area, roughly 1.5 miles off, along the river paths.

  2. 2

    Call the shelter, the local police and nearby vets straight away: a loose dog is usually picked up and handed in quickly.

  3. 3

    Ask people not to chase or shout — a frightened dog runs. Crouch down, avoid eye contact and call calmly.

    Tip from locals

    Ask dog walkers at Consett Park and Fawcett Park to watch and call calmly rather than chase.

  4. 4

    Leave something carrying your scent, plus water, where he went missing, and check back regularly.

    Tip from locals

    Keep the scent item on the side away from the A692, which runs close to the centre of town.

  5. 5

    Report him to the microchip registry and start a targeted alert that reaches the whole neighbourhood at once.

    Tip from locals

    Include Lanchester, about 4.2 miles south-east, and Chopwell, roughly 4.4 miles north, when you spread the word.
