Under Viennese law, an alcohol ban for dog walkers denotes the ban on consuming alcohol for dog walkers when they are out with dogs in public, as well as a blood alcohol limit for the blood alcohol content. The aim is to protect third parties from attacks by dogs if the dog handlers are not sufficiently reaffirmed to cope with the situation due to the alcohol consumption or their blood alcohol content.

Vienna Animal Husbandry Act

In September 2018 there was an attack in Vienna-Donaustadt in which a small child was critically injured. The dog handler was clearly drunk with 1.4 per thousand blood alcohol and restricted in her ability to act. As a result, higher security measures when walking dogs were demanded in politics as well as in the population.

Since 2019 persons in an alcohol or may narcotic drugs are degraded state, a Dog Training translucent duty not lead dog in public places.

With an alcohol content of the blood of 0.5 g / l (0.5 per mille) or more or with an alcohol content of the breath of 0.25 mg / l or more, a condition impaired by alcohol is irrefutably suspected (Section 5a, Paragraph 14 Wiener Animal Husbandry Act ).

The dog breeds Bull Terrier , Staffordshire , Terrier , Mastino Napoletano , Fila Brasileiro , Mastiff , Bullmastiff , Tosa , Inu, Pit Bull Terrier , Rottweiler and Bulldog are required .

Organs of the public security service are entitled at any time to examine the breathing air of people who carry a dog that requires a license in public places for alcohol content (Section 5a (15) of the Vienna Animal Keeping Act). People who refuse to examine or examine the air they breathe are committing an administrative offense , for which the minimum fine is 1,000 euros (Section 13, Paragraph 2, No. 18, Paragraph 4 of the Vienna Animal Husbandry Act). Mere advice to the dog handler in accordance with Section 33a of the Administrative Penal Act 1991 is not sufficient (Section 13 (5) of the Vienna Animal Keeping Act).
