dog leash laws

Canine restraint ordinances

Dog leash laws are local ordinances requiring dogs to be restrained on a leash when in public spaces.

Most municipalities have some form of leash law, though specific requirements vary—some mandate leashes everywhere outside private property, others only in designated areas.
