Definition
The housing environment's support for a dog to relieve itself and exercise, through a safe, suitable place and practical rules.
Part of the Roch Dog Residence Standard (RDRS-01) · Published by Roch Dog
The housing environment's support for a dog to relieve itself and take exercise: provision of, or reasonable proximity to, a safe and suitable place, and rules that do not make routine toileting impractical.
It concerns what the housing provides and permits, not the resident's whole exercise routine.
Roch Interpretation
This is about whether the building gives a dog a genuine, usable way to get out and relieve itself. It is not about how often the owner walks the dog beyond that.
Examples
Compliant
An on-site relief area plus a public green a short walk away, with rules that allow routine toileting.
Not compliant
The only legal relief spot is a fifteen-minute walk away and house rules ban dogs from every nearer space.
