8 Laws All Dog Owners Should Be Aware Of Top Dog Tips

1. Vaccinations. The vaccinations that a dog owner is required to give their dog by law may be mandated by the state or the city in which the dog owner lives.
2. Pet Waste. A vast majority of cities in the United States now have local ordinances in place that make it mandatory for dog owners to pick up and sanitarily dispose of their dog’s waste when dropped anywhere except for the dog owner’s property.
3. Dog Licenses. In almost every city in the United States dog owners are required to purchase a license for their pet annually (although some locations offer lifetime licenses.)
4. Pets on Leashes Laws. Leash laws are established by the city and are designed to maintain the safety of citizens and animals themselves. While the specifics of leash laws may vary, almost every law maintains that dogs that are not on their owner’s property or in a designated “off-leash” area, must be kept on a leash and under control at all times.
5. Dog-Bite Statutes. Dog-bite statutes are strict liability statutes that place the liability for an injury caused by a dog on the dog’s owner. The owner is liable regardless of whether or not he/she had reason to believe that their dog would cause such injuries.
6. The “One Bite” Rule for Dogs. This is a common-law rule that is used to determine the liability of a dog’s owner in the case of an injury incident caused by the animal.
7. Barking Dogs. Depending on where you live, either state laws or local ordinances cover the issue of barking dogs being a nuisance. In some instances, a specific law exists targeting barking dogs, but where that law is not in play, noise ordinances have similar reach.
8. Too Many Dogs… When it comes to how many dogs a dog owner can legally have, the law varies. Primarily, those individuals who live in rural areas have no limitations on the number of dogs they can keep so long as the dogs are cared for and not a nuisance.
