The case was brought following an investigation by a Cardiff Council dog warden into a number of incidents between January and August 2009 where the dog behaved aggressively to members of the public or put people in fear.
Ms Harrington was fined £100 with an order of costs of £240.
Ms Harrington is also subject to a control order relating to the dog. She is held as the sole person responsible for the dog which must be muzzled and kept on a secure lead whilst in a public place.
