Dog control orders which require people to clean up after their dog and keep them on leads are being reviewed for the first time in three years.
The council's Public Space Protection Order covers the whole of the city, and require dog owners to pick up their dog poo everywhere, and keep them on leads, apart from in certain places.
It also bans dogs altogether from other defined areas - generally children's playgrounds and other sections of some parks.
The PSPO covering Bristol and dogs comes to an end in three weeks time, and the council is reviewing whether it should be scrapped, kept in place, tweaked or made stricter.
The council said the orders ban or restrict certain acts or behaviour in a specific area 'where they are having a negative effect on the quality of life of those using the space'.

What should happen to the next dog control PSPO is the subject of a consultation, with the council cabinet member responsible, Cllr Steve Pearce, keen to hear views.
"We recognise that the vast majority of dog owners continue to act responsibly. Being able to walk a dog and to enjoy areas of open space is important to owners and can be beneficial to them and to the welfare of their animals.
“However, we continue to receive complaints about dog related anti-social behaviour and irresponsible dog ownership in certain areas and therefore we are consulting on a PSPO that will allow us to continue to address issues surrounding dog control, including dog fouling when necessary.”
The closing date for the consultation is November 9. To give your views visit here.
