It is not permitted and even though you'll likely get away with it it is wrong. 4)not everyone wants your dog sniffing them. A 6foot lead is the law. Those leads that extend beyond that are not legal, but many lazy owners could care less so don't be surprised when someone gets upset with you. 5)a dog is part of your family not others so don't expect them to act like it's human. 6)riding with your dog on your lap while driving is stupid. You not only don't have the reflexes you had when younger, you're easily distracted...so cut it out.

A community that is dog friendly also has dog owners who are responsible and respect the rights of others. Get with the program and don't be part of the problem. I love dogs, but some owners need extended training.
Please reference you statement where leashes are outlawed. it they are against the law why are they for sale?


I have to raise the BS Flag and say another whinny post.

You have say on your property, but common areas are not your property. Common areas were paid for by bonds which property owners paid for and pay for up keep by monthly amenities fees.

Only Championship golf course are private. Several resident courses have common paths running through and along side of them specially in the older districts.

You and I have No say so who or who can't be on property we don't own. We can bitch about it, but that's about it. Which this post seems to be about.
