Management Information
The principal techniques to control wild dogs are exclusion fencing, shooting, trapping and poisoning. Poisoning using 1080 is the most cost-effective means of reducing populations of wild dogs over large areas of remote or inaccessible country. New techniques such as the use of livestock guarding dogs, poison ejecting devices and toxic collars have been suggested as alternatives to current methods. The Australian Bureau of Rural Sciences (BRS) in cooperation with the Vertebrate Pests Committee of the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Resource Management (SCARM) has published guidelines for managing the impacts
of dingoes (Canis lupus dingo) and other wild dogs (C.l. familiaris) as part of the Managing Vertebrate Pests series.

Location Specific Management InformationAnegada Is.
Feral dogs were eradicated from Anegada Is. between 1994 and 1999, although some are still kept there as pets (Gerber, 2000). Anguilla
In a 1997 report on the conservation of the 'Vulnerable (VU)' lesser Antillean iguanas (see Iguana delicatissima in IUCN Red List of Threatened Species) it was recommended that residents should be encouraged to spay and neuter pet dogs and keep them confined. (Cronk, 1986 in Varnham, 2006). Feral dogs were eradicated from Anegada Is. between 1994 and 1999, although some are still kept as pets (Varnham, 2003 in Varnham, 2006). Australia
Fleming et al. (2001), Managing the Impacts of Dingoes and Other Wild Dogs is the first book to provide a comprehensive review of the history and biology of wild dogs in Australia, the damage they cause and community attitudes towards their management. Key strategies for reducing impacts on livestock industries are recommended by the authors who are scientific experts on wild dog management. These strategies are illustrated by case studies and decision-making frameworks. Please follow this link to download Fleming et al. (2001) Managing the Impacts of Dingoes and Other Wild Dogs. Cayman Brac
C. lupus has been excluded from the protected area of QE II Botanic Park on Grand Cayman, where a restored population of the 'Critically Endangered (CR)' endemic Cayman island ground iguana (see Cyclura lewisi in IUCN Red List of Threatened Species) is established. There are also exclusion fences around areas supporting re-established populations of C. lewisi (Perez and Bensusan, undated in Varnham, 2006). Germany
Dogs kill native deer species, such as the roe deer, and other introduced
species. Legal regulations of dogs in Germany have been made to protect the hunt. The
German Federal Hunting Act (Bundesjagdgesetz) § 23 puts the responsibility
in regard to feral cats and dogs to the states regulations.
The State Hunting Act (Landesjagdgesetz) of the most northern state of
Germany, namely Schleswig-Holstein, § 21 regulates the killing of feral cats and dogs in
order to protect the hunt. "The hunter are authorized to kill dogs, which
they encounter without accompanying person in their hunting grounds (remark:
virtually all the non-inhabitat land), and cats more than 200m away from the
next building." Then some exceptions are listed, such as hounds, police
dogs, etc. In conclusion, the German legislation is very strict regarding
free-roaming dogs and cats and hunters are called upon to kill them. Grand Cayman
Canis lupus has been excluded from the protected area of QE II Botanic Park on Grand Cayman, where a restored population of the 'Critically Endangered (CR)' endemic Cayman island ground iguana (see Cyclura lewisi in IUCN Red List of Threatened Species) is established. There are also exclusion fences around areas supporting re-established populations of C. lewisi (Perez and Bensusan, undated in Varnham, 2006). Grand Cayman

1995 report recommends preventing the introduction of feral animals to more islands, removing them from uninhabited islands, controlling feral animals and restricting the movement of livestock on inhabited islands, and educating the public on the destruction caused by non-natives (Gerber, 1995 in Varnham, 2006).
A management initiative to contol feral dogs is underway in Grand Turk (McCoy-Ground, 2003 in Varnham, 2006). Little Cayman
C. lupus has been excluded from the protected area of QE II Botanic Park on Grand Cayman, where a restored population of the 'Critically Endangered (CR)' endemic Cayman island ground iguana (see Cyclura lewisi in IUCN Red List of Threatened Species) is established. There are also exclusion fences around areas supporting re-established populations of C. lewisi (Perez and Bensusan, undated in Varnham, 2006).
