City of La Cañada Flintridge Emphasizes Leash Laws

The City of La Cañada Flintridge, in partnership with Pasadena Humane, is launching an initiative to educate residents about the City’s leash laws and increase enforcement at Mayor’s Discovery Park, where complaints about unleashed dogs have increased.

The City’s leash laws require that all dogs be kept on a leash no longer than six feet in length and dogs must remain under full control of their owner or custodian while in public, including at City parks and on trails, or upon private property other than that of the dog owner.

Beginning in December, the City will increase the presence of animal control officers from Pasadena Humane at Mayor’s Discovery Park. The primary goal is to educate park visitors about leash laws and promote responsible pet ownership. However, in cases of non-compliance, appropriate enforcement actions may be taken.

For more information on leash laws in La Cañada Flintridge, visit the City’s animal control webpage.
