Lyons Leash LawReminder to leash your dog
Leash laws are important for maintaining a safe and respectful environment for dogs and people. It’s not just about the individual dogs on leash. It’s about the impact to the residents, community, and the town in broader terms. There are many issues that can arise from dogs being unrestrained. Here are a few to consider: • Dogs that are off leash can engage in physical confrontations with other dogs, cats, or wildlife and can become injured.
• They have a greater risk of chasing, attacking, or killing wildlife.
• Unrestrained dogs can approach people who may not want to be approached or are afraid of dogs. Some people have very valid reasons to be fearful of dogs, as such they should be afforded space.
• They are at a higher risk of contracting illnesses and disease from wildlife or other animals.
• They can run into the roadway and get struck by a vehicle or cause an accident.
• Unrestrained dogs may be approached by someone that puts them in an uncomfortable situation, causing them to bite.
