LEASH LAW ENFORCEMENTS
Owning a dog is a big responsibility. It is like caring for another child! This responsibility extends past the proper care and training for your dog but also to your dog's behavior.
In the City of Oxnard, dogs may not run at large in places open to and used by the public such as the public beach, street, sidewalk, alley, or park without the owner or another responsible person capable of controlling the animal on a leash. When animals are not on a leash, they must be restrained either behind a fence or in some other enclosure that will prevent their escape.
A leash can save your dog's life and can keep your dog out of fights, out of garbage cans, out of traffic, and out of dangerous places. But most of all, it can keep your dog close to you so he won't get lost.
Please be a responsible pet owner and abide by the law. Violations are a minimum penalty of one hundred dollars ($100.00).
OXNARD CITY CODE SEC. 5-42. DOG LEASHING REQUIRED.
No person shall permit any dog owned, harbored or controlled by that person to be on any public beach, street, sidewalk, alley, park or place of whatever nature open to and used by the public unless the dog is securely leashed, and the leash is continuously controlled by a responsible person capable of controlling such dog or unless such dog is securely confined in a motor vehicle.
Anytime you take your dog off your property, it must be on leash and in control by a competent person. This means that you cannot turn your dog loose in the street to play with the kids.
