Extra Post 9: Leash Law

According to California Law, it is against the law to not have your dog on a leash. Whether the dog is outside, or on a walk, at all times the dog MUST have a proper leash on.

The reason for this is the danger the dog many cause to others. For some instances the dog may be aggressive towards people and or other animals. If it is not on a leash you cause the risk of the dog attacking either the person or the other dog while walking or running around. One of the other common issues that come from dogs not being on a leash is running away. In many cases dogs have ran away from their owner and gotten hit by a car, or never being found. If the dog is never found it eventually gets picked up by animal control and put into a shelter. When this happens, it means there is another reason to  add onto overpopulation issues.

It is extremely important to leash your dog so they dont hurt themselves, others or cause more animal overpopulation.
