Yes, I suspected the county would only require a dog to be "under control", not on a leash.

But I thought The Villages requires dogs to be on a leash when they are off their owners property, and others seem to confirm this. Is this not the law in The Villages?

Why do you think no one has reported the owner to the authorities in The Villages?
