County Code 4-10 - All dogs must be confined on the owner's property at all times or under direct control or on a leash when off the owner's property.

I second this. We have a dog watch fence around our yard. Our dog have not left our yard in three plus years. We have a bigger yard than normal. The dog has room to “take care of business”, run around or play frisbee. Also, we do not leave her outside alone. When we are out and about the dog is on a leash, except at the dog park. No entitlement here, just a responsible dog owner.
