Dog Owner Responsibilities

Dog owners have some definite legal responsibilities which are intended for the convenience of residents. Please:

  • Attach the registration tag and dog’s identification tag to the collar.
  • Don’t let the dog wander without proper control.
  • Keep the animal generally quiet.
  • Clean up after your pet in public places
  • Dogs must be restrained on a leash in public places at all times.

A dog attack is a very serious matter. If your dog attacks a person or other animal, you will be held responsible, even if you were not there at the time. There are very substantial penalties of up to $10,000 and/ or 12 months jail for a dog attack or inciting a dog attack.
