Pet owners must follow leash laws to keep pets and people safe in public.
But in a recent WUSA9 story, we highlighted
examples where people were not complying.
Here are the penalties to breaking leash laws in DC and area counties:
District of Columbia
DC Dept. of Parks and Recreation: Policies and Regulation
2.5. DOGS
2.5.1. Pursuant to District law, no person owning, keeping or having custody of a dog in the District shall permit the dog to be on any public space in the District (with the exception of an official District dog park), unless the dog is firmly secured by a substantial leash. The leash shall be held by a person capable of managing the dog.
2.5.2. No dogs are permitted, with the exception of registered service dogs, on natural turf or synthetic turf fields, athletic courts, pools and pool areas, or playground areas.
2.5.3. Off-‐‐leash dogs are only permitted in DPR's designated dog park facilities and pursuant to applicable District laws and regulations.
Penalty:
Violators of DC Leash Law
will be fined up to $25 for the first violation, $50 for the second violation happening within a 24-month period, and $100 for each following violation within a 24-month period. Civil charges may also apply.
==================================================================================================
Those are the laws about dogs in city parks/general leash and dog laws.
HU students who are from DC should try to get stronger language added to state that no dogs on college campuses,and campus cops should strongly enforce it.
