by the City of Calgary
As we all enjoy being outside and spending time with our family, friends, and pets; we want to ensure we are creating a safe place for all our neighbours. Knowing and adhering to the regulations in the Responsible Pet Ownership Bylaw 23M2006 helps to ensure that dogs are not being a nuisance in the community and that both dogs and citizens are safe.
City of Calgary would like to remind dog owners of the following:
• When off of their owner’s property, dogs must be on a leash unless in a designated off-leash area.
• When in designated off-leash areas, dog owners must ensure their dog is under control, is within their sight, and responds to commands.
• Parking lots adjacent to off-leash areas are on leash.
• Owners are responsible for picking up all waste produced by their dog.
• Dogs are not allowed in school grounds, playgrounds, sport fields, golf courses, cemeteries, wading and swimming areas, and other areas prohibited by signs.
• Dogs must be walked on the right-hand side of the pathway on a leash that is no more than two metres in length and must not interfere with other pathway users.
• Owners cannot cycle, in-line skate, or skateboard on a pathway with a leashed dog.
• Dogs must not enter or swim in any body of water within a park except a river that runs through, or is adjacent to, a City park.
• You must have and your dog must wear a City of Calgary licence once the dog is three months old.
When we respect the bylaw, we contribute to a safer and healthier community.
Thank you for being responsible dog owners and valued community partners.
