Restriction on moving vicious dog: not a lot (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

curfew

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'restriction on moving' is the definition.
'curfew' can be an answer for 'restriction' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'on moving' bit.

'vicious dog not a lot' is the wordplay.
'vicious dog' becomes 'cur' (I've seen this before).
'not a lot' becomes 'few' (I've seen this in another clue).
'cur'+'few'='CURFEW'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for curfew that I've seen before include "Hour to be home by" , "Nighttime limitation on movement" , "Restriction on going out" , "Early bedtime imposed by military" , "Night-time movement ban" .)
