Do dogs have to be leashed or just "under control"?
If your dog is off your property, must it be on a leash or just "under control"?
If it has to be on a leash, is there a maximum allowable length for the leash or is one of those expandable leashes OK? I understand each county may have its own leash laws. I also thought the Deed Restrictions may also address this issue. Does that mean the neighborhoods may have their own laws about this? |
Off property is on the leash I believe.

Leashed.
Spouses must be kept under control. It is the same for all Villages and is a law. Next question. |
Yeah I am bored...

What are the leash laws in Sumter County?As a person who wrote software much of my life, I have no idea the law :D. As written; as long as my dog is under direct control I am ok. I am left to guess that they meant something like this: County Code 4-10 states that all dogs must be confined on owners property at all times or under direct control. All dogs must be on a leash when off the owners property. |

I wish all people who take their dogs to Lake Okahumpka Park would follow the law and keep their dogs on leash. I guess they think nobody will see them there. And I wish they would clean up their poo. Hard to see your dog pooing when it is way out ahead of you and out of site. Doesn't do any good to say anything.

From the same Reg: "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." |

I didn't read it that way. I think they simply left out a "comma". I believe "direct control" refers to voice control.

We have 2 Golden Retrievers that are neither on a leash or under control close to where we live in Charlotte. They have run at our dogs on leash and in our golf cart. Wish their owner would get control or pay more attention before letting them out the front doors of her villa.
