Response from the competent authority: Reply from the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry
  and Food:Responsible animal ownership is multifaceted. It is the owner's responsibility
  to ensure the health and welfare of his/her animal, but it is also the owner's responsibility
  to the environment in which he/she lives with his/her animal. The owner is therefore
  also responsible for the actions of his animal and for any harm that his animal
  may cause.The Animal Protection Act (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia,
  No 38/13-UPB-3, 21/18-ZNOrg and 92/20), which defines the responsibility of humans
  for the protection of animals as sentient living beings, also contains some provisions
  relating to the protection of the public interest and to ensuring that animals are
  not a danger to humans.11Article 11 of the Animal Protection Act provides that it
  is the duty of the owner of a dog to ensure, by training, education or other measures,
  that his dog is not dangerous to the surrounding environment. At the same time,
  the same Article also provides for the physical protection of the dog in public
  places - by keeping the dog on a leash. An exception is made for so-called dog parks,
  i.e. enclosed areas where dogs are allowed to meet and engage in off-leash dog activities,
  which must ensure that dogs cannot escape from such areas. A public place is defined
  as a public place as defined in the law regulating the protection of public order,
  excluding areas where no large number of people is present or expected.Article 46a
  of the Animal Protection Act prescribes sanctions for actions of legal or natural
  persons that contravene the provisions of the Act.No amendments to the prescribed
  actions are foreseen.
