KEEP YOUR DOG ON A LEASH IN PUBLIC PLACES Your Responsibilities as a Pet Owner Dogs are big part of peoples' lives and it's important to remember your responsibilities as a pet owner so everyone can enjoy our parks and open spaces. Under the Companion Animals Act 1998, dogs. must be kept on a leash in all public places. This means when you are outside your home, including on the footpath, your dog must be on a leash - except in the designated off-leash park on Brobenah Road, Leeton, and in Yanco. Keeping your dog on a leash helps keep your dog safe from running onto the road or being separated from you. It also reduces the chance. of your dog potentially causing a nuisance or harm to other people or animals. An on-the-spot penalty of $330 can apply for dogs not being on a lead and not being controlled.
