Actually, the county “leash law” uses the term DIRECT CONTROL. Defined as…
Direct control shall mean immediate and continuous physical control of an animal at all times such as by means of a fence, leash, cord, or chain of sufficient strength to restrain the animal; or in the case of specifically trained working, agricultural or hunting animals which immediately respond to such commands, while working; direct control shall also include aural or oral control, if the controlling person is at all times clearly and fully within the unobstructed sight and hearing of the animal
If you have a trained dog, who responds to oral commands, they are in direct control. Most states’ and county “leash laws” use similar definitions.
