Dog Leash Laws

Dog Leash Laws

There have been a number of complaints about unleashed dogs on the Stony Run Trail. Unleashed dogs have attacked other dogs, and even bit a child in the face. It is illegal to have your dog unleashed in public. Until we work through a solution to have a dog area in the lower meadow, you MUST HAVE YOUR DOG ON A LEASH when you are in the rest of the park. When you are on the trail, please leash your dog. Baltimore City’s law is clear:

You must always have your dog on a leash. It is a $200 fine, and you could have your dog taken from you for repeated infractions
