Leash Laws

Dogs are cherished members of the family, joining us in our daily routines and adventures. We often take them along for walks, outings, and exercise to keep them healthy and happy. When bringing dogs into public spaces, it’s essential to keep them securely leashed for the safety of people, other animals, and the dog themselves. Sadly, not everyone follows this basic responsibility, which can lead to dangerous situations, injuries, or the need for animal control intervention. Learn more by visiting our Stanislaus County Leash Laws page.

If you have other questions or concerns, please contact our office for help.
