Why is it called dogging?
There are several possible explanations: "dogging" can mean following or watching, or it might refer to having sex outdoors like dogs.

How do doggers hook up for meetings?
Nowadays, doggers usually contact one another online, through chat rooms, forums, bulletin boards and newsgroups. Someone will issue an invite to watch, or inquire if there is anyone interested in performing in a certain area. Further details for meeting may be arranged online, or via cell phone or messaging. Some may just show up at a known dogging spot and see if anyone else turns up.
Is dogging illegal?
Dogging somewhat of a legal grey area, and the laws regarding public sex, nudity, lewdness, and their enforcement, vary by jurisdiction. In the UK, there are laws against public sex but they mostly are concerned with protecting "unwilling witnesses" from seeing acts of lewdness. We're not sure how this would be applied to sex in front of willing witnesses. However, if there is a complaint, you may be prosecuted. And in some areas the local police have been stepping up patrols to discourage activity at notorious dogging hangouts.
