Woman dies in attack by registered XL bullies at east London home

Dog behaviourist Michaela Scott, who lives near the house where the woman died in Hornchurch, said attacks like this could be scary for people who did not work with this breed.

"It's really sad for the person, the neighbours, for the local community," she said.

Ms Scott, who specialises in working with XL bully dogs, said there were "quite a lot" of people in the area with the breed.

She said there had been a rise in demand from owners for her training program to help their dogs adapt to the new rules.

"Owners want to do what's right for their dog," she said. "They want to know how to keep their dog safe as well as everyone else safe."
