That's a horse of another color. Officially, the Leash Laws are only enforced by the Counties and you'll usually get told to contact the County. That said, if it's near one of TV's Dog Parks, the local Regional Rec Center who handles the park, *may* help. At Brinson-Perry, they're supposedly installing cameras to enforce the Leash Law.

Thanks for your input.

I can show you a GREAT place if you live south of 44. There are several places to take your dog off leash in The Villages. PM me if you want me to show you.

Terrific. Now folks are offering Guided Tours on how to circumvent completely reasonable TV Regulations.

Dog off leash

I always see people with dogs off leash on golf cart path Morse Blvd south of Moyer Loop/Hillsborough Trail.

Dog parks, or your fenced in property.

Same at my house! Maybe your dog and mine can become BFFs.

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.

THANK YOU! Tired of people’s untrained dogs ruining it for everyone else. While we’re at it, will you ADDRESS YOUR DOG’S POOP NO MATTER WHERE IT IS! People walk in fields and areas off paths.

i see it too, but i'd be uncomfortable with a play area so close to the road. i know some dogs are used to the place, & know 'how' to play, but all it takes is 1 new dog to get killed

That's just north of my house. I know it well. I'll take my dog up there on walks (sometimes for a ride in the cart), but I always keep her on leash.

Like you said, too close to Morse for my comfort...

Thanks for your input.

There is a great doggy park in Oxford for a nominal fee.

Just a suggestion, but you should read that again. In Sumter County, the only situation where "direct control" includes "aural or oral control", is if the dog is "specifically trained working, agricultural .... ".

All NON-WORKING dogs are required to be under "continuous physical control" in Sumter County.

Other counties have different definitions. For example, Marion County (which part of TV is located) defines "Direct Control" as: "Direct control shall mean the immediate, continuous physical control of an animal by means of confining within a house, building, fence, pen or other enclosure, or restrained by means of leash, cord, chain, or similar tether of sufficient strength to restrain the animal subject to the restrictions provided herein."

The Villages Community Development Districts also require ALL dogs on TV property to be physically Leashed: "Pet Friendly Informational Guidelines:

"All dogs are required to be on a leash at all times, dogs are not allowed off leash on any athletic field or other public areas. Not allowing pets to play and walk on common area landscaping." (Dog Parks.)

A sad reality. Law needs to be written to cover ALL realities. Now departed. Wife's uncle and I'm sure others was soooooooo proud that he bought a service dog vest at wherever, Amazon?

What's sad about it? I'm very happy the law specifies when dogs must be on a leash.
