A. It is unlawful for any person to suffer or permit any dog owned, harbored or controlled by him or her to be on any public street, alley, lane, park or place of whatever nature open to and used by the public in the incorporated area of the city unless such dog is securely leashed and the leash is held continuously in the hand of a responsible person capable of controlling such dog, or unless the dog is securely confined in a vehicle, or unless the dog is at “heel” beside a competent person and obedient to that person’s command.

B. Dogs used on farms and ranches for the primary purpose of herding livestock are not required to be leashed or at “heel” beside their owner or person controlling the use of the dogs while on a public street, alley, lane or place of whatever nature open to and used by the public in the incorporated area of the city while herding such livestock and as long as the dogs are obedient to the commands of the person controlling their use for this purpose.

C. Notwithstanding any other provision of this code, no person shall allow any dog, whether on a leash or not, to be on any public street, alley, lane, sidewalk or other place open to and used by the public and for which an encroachment, sidewalk or street closure, or similar permit has been issued and the person(s) holding said permit have given reasonable notice that the presence of any dogs would interfere with the purposes for which the permit was issued. This prohibition shall not apply to guide or seeing-eye dogs. (Ord. 1121 § 1, 1988; prior code § 4111.0)
