It is the law to have your dog on a leash. Even service dogs, not emotional therapy dogs, must be on a leash unless the task they do must require them to be off leash. However, the owner must have a leash in hand ready to leash their dog. You can face fines in the hundreds of dollars, court appearances and community service if you break this law.

Weather trained professionally or not, a dog should never be unleashed unless it's in a secured backyard!!! Too much happening nowadays!!!🤨

it's the freaking law because other people that think their dog is trained but isn't and attacks another dog because it's off leash

One of the first things I learned in training to be an Animal Control Officer is NEVER believe an owner who tells you their dog doesn't bite! PLEASE LEASH YOUR DOG(S)!

the problem is is that it's still an animal no matter how well trained they are they can still be impulsive and unpredictable that is why it's the law to have them on a leash

True but a supposedly trained dog attacked my little Chihuahua. I had to pull him up into my arms by his leash to protect him. The owner was an idiot and didn't even apologize. Laws are laws. People should abide by them otherwise there is anarchy.

PROBLEM IS, ITS THE LAW!!!! It’s THE LAW for a very, very good reason. I own dogs, I love animals; my dogs are trained and I would never, ever take my dogs in public without a leash 🤦‍♀️

Problem is you can have highly trained fogs, but that does t mean they wont react or attack back when they are attacked. Its the law!!! Period. Follow it!!

I carry a baton zapper (stun gun) and I will use it if a dog comes near me and it's not leash because to me that is protecting myself from harm.

if he was that afraid then why didnt he pick his dog.up to protect it. or even turn around and walk away. if I see an unfamiliar dog, I take my dog in a different direction just for safety of both dogs. or I ask "are you friendly" before I get close.

As a trainer almost my entire adult life, I have seen LOTS of dogs ON leads that are NOT UNDER CONTROL. They pull, buck, strain & wriggle free. You only THINK the dog is "under control" until it is not. Personally, I'd rather see a dog like that Corso-Dane mix totally trained to that girl's command. Versus a dog straining, leading the owner & lunging at others on lead. I really think that owners should be licensed, just like a drivers license.

Send the video to the constables. A law applies to all dogs. She does not get to decide the law doesn’t apply to her.

The problem is if that well trained dog is attacked by another dog you have lost control & can’t protect your “good boy”!.

Facts: a well trained dog with a responsible owner can go off lead. Keep your yappy dogs at home. I have two well trained bulldogs.

Just because a dog is trained doesn't mean that it will always listen. If there is a leash law then it should be leashed.

I can't stand people like this! It dosent matter if your dog is huge or tiny, and it dosent matter if they are the best trained, or the worse, out of control dog! Put your dog on a lead!

Not all dogs are trained the same. Not all dogs stay limitless. In fact, even thought the dog is stationary if the other dog just approaches to smell the other the dog will turn defensive and or attack.

because a dog is an animal, not a machine. no matter how well trained, an unleashed dog can harm others if it exhibits behavior that it normally would not and is not expected.

because we are humans and dont always listen. ANIMALS dont always listen too. this is a control thing with owners. you are never in complete control of animals! wake up! stop showboating that you control and animal. good for you. now, have some appreciation for people who walks their dogs on leads. this is wrong

because dogs are dogs and things set them off at times no matter the training . farm dogs are the same . I have great dogs trained up well and still they're dogs and things happen . so if you're in public spaces leash your dogs .

What's the problem? Animals are unpredictable, no matter how much you train them you never know what they will do. If you're being attacked then just drop the leash.

because it's not always about your dog being trained, but the other one might not be. and it's easier to pull dogs away when they're on leashes because if a dog starts to attack another dog, no matter how well behaved and strangers is, it's going to fight back. it's easier to grab the leash and pull them away than it is to try to just stick your hands down in there. it's not always about your dog but it could be somebody else's dog. that's the problem💕

Because must have the animal under their control at All Times. Impulsive behavior is not an excuse. Major consequences if someone is injured 🤔
