Farmers who have experienced sheep worrying by dogs are being urged to share their views.
As cases of dog worrying continue to be reported, the National Sheep Association is repeating its annual survey to establish a more up-to-date picture of the problem.
This year the questions concentrate on positive and negative ways to influence the dog owner's behaviour.
The group has said the results from the survey will be 'invaluable' to their work to keep the subject fresh in the minds of people enjoying the British countryside with their pets.
Raise awareness
Last year's survey focused on the human impact of dog attacks.
It found that 85% of affected farmers experienced stress and 78% were worried about future attacks.
Around 46% experienced feelings of anxiety about spending time away from their farm, while some had even contemplated giving up.
"The issue of sheep worrying by dogs continues to be a real concern for sheep farmers across the UK," said Phil Stocker, NSA chief executive.
"Recent media coverage of the problem may have raised awareness but this has not necessarily translated into a reduction in cases of dog attacks.
"This survey will enable NSA to identify further methods to help dog owners enjoy the countryside responsibly and ultimately improve the situation for sheep farmers.
"We urge all affected sheep farmers to spare a few minutes to share their views, as it is invaluable to our work."
