Dogs in the Neighborhood

Sometimes it is easier to just open the door and let your dog out, rather than putting it on a leash and taking it for a walk. But, with dog ownership comes responsibilities. The Village has received complaints from some joggers that they are being confronted by dogs while they jog in the early morning and in the evening. Dogs must be on a leash except when they are on your own property. If the jogger presses charges, the dog owners will be ticketed which may require a court appearance. Please be respectful of your neighbors and the laws. Also, when walking your pet, make sure you bring an implement along and pick up your dog's deposits - no one wants to clean up after someone else's pet (and it’s a violation of Village Code). Thanks for your cooperation.
