Cumbria Police have been educating dog walkers about the effects of sheep worrying on livestock.
Officers were joined at Ennerdale with a lamb, numbered #475, which was loaned to the force from Birks Farm at Cleator Moor.
The crime prevention initiative follows a spate of sheep worrying in the area.
Little Ireland previously reported how farmer David Charlton loses 15-20 animals a year from his Parkside farm.
A Police Spokesperson said:
"The worrying of livestock is an offence which we will deal with robustly where we can identify offenders.
"Dog owners should also take into account that a farmer who sees their animal worrying livestock is perfectly within the law to shoot their dog to prevent loss or injury to their stock. Balancing the use of a lead with loss of your dog, loss of livestock and a conviction - there is no contest really."
