How about adding steeper fees for registration all dogs, and adding mandatory testing for both dog and owner before the dog can be registered. I am guessing it wouldn't be practical each and every year but I could see something like year 1 and 2, then year 5 or something similar.
As the owner of a large dog, I would gladly go along with this. I am expected to know how to operate a vehicle before I drive, it should be the same for a dog.
The only issue I see is that D.B. owners would likely not even bother registering the dog anyway. Enforcement would be key to success.
