The County of Prince Edward is reminding people to leash their dogs when out in public.
The municipal by-law requires every dog to be leashed when not on the premises of its owner and when in a public park.
Keeping your dog on a leash helps keep the public safe, ensures your dog doesn’t trespass on neighbouring property, and prevents your dog from chasing other animals and wildlife.
- For dog owners who want to let their dog run free, a dedicated, fenced-in dog park is available within Delhi Park in Picton.
- Dogs must be leashed in all other areas of Delhi Park and any neighbouring properties such as Glenwood Cemetery.
- Owners must also leash their dogs when out on the Millennium Trail and while enjoying Wellington Rotary Beach.
- Please “stoop and scoop.” The municipal by-law requires owners to remove any excrement left by the dog on public or private properties.
- For more information, contact the County of Prince Edward at 613.476.2148 extension 1023, 613.962.9108 extension 1023, or info@pecounty.on.ca.
