- Keep your dog on a leash when:

• the recall command is unreliable

• your dog has hunting habits

• your dog has dominant traits

• your dog is in heat

• your dog has a contagious illness or is recovering from an injury

• while in conservation areas and wildlife refuges

- If on open terrain, your dog can be kept on a long leash

- If the area allows dogs to be off leash, always keep your dog in sight and within call 

- At night or when it is dark, make sure your dog is visible from a distance with reflectors or a light up collar

- If conflicts arise, deal with the persons involved politely. Personal details can be requested (ex. name, address, and telephone number)

- Maintain constant supervision when children and dogs are present at the same place

​

When to keep your dog on a short leash:

 

• On public transport

• At public transport stops and stations

• On busy streets

• In restaurants and public buildings

• If someone requests it

 

Public space etiquette:

​

• In restaurants, the dog on a leash and in an area where it is not in the way of guests or staff

• Your dog should not pee in inappropriate places. Try to direct your dog to patches of grass or a designated dog toilet

• Correctly dispose of your dog’s waste in every situation, leaving as little trace as possible. Always keep spare disposable dog waste bags with you when out with your dog
