What is the Reason Why California Leash Laws Exist?

California has strict leash laws. Dog bites have increased in recent years. Every day, approximately 1,000 dog bites in the United States are reported.

  • Most of these incidents involve aggressive or fearsome dogs left unattended or off-leash
  • Every dog should not be allowed to roam around the neighborhood, as it’s also illegal for dogs to be left on a leash in public places
  • California law requires dog owners to ensure that their dog is properly hydrated and fed.
  • If your dog bites another person while you are in the store, it could land you in serious trouble.
  • Dog bites can often be avoided if owners took the necessary precautions.
