The officer may designate an aggressive dog if it bites a human or animal without provocation, has a known propensity to attack, or was previously designated. The officer may apply to Provincial Court for an order to destroy a dangerous dog. A bite on someone trespassing or teasing the dog does not make it dangerous.\n\n## Steps\n\n1. Report to the Bylaw Enforcement/Animal Control Officer (bylaw@loganlake.ca or 250-318-4964), the Municipal Office (250-523-6225 or info@loganlake.ca) or the online bylaw complaint form.\n2. Give your name, address and phone number; anonymous complaints are not accepted.\n3. For an emergency after hours, call 250-523-6274.\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Owners must make sure whoever has care of the dog is competent to restrain it. The bylaw has no muzzle, enclosure, sign or handler-age rules that we could find.\n- A dog that bites a person must go to the pound or to a veterinarian's supervision for 14 days at the owner's expense, unless the veterinarian recommends an earlier release in writing.\n- Keeping a vicious dog, animal or wild animal is a $200 ticket; so is a dog attack, and so is removing an animal from the pound.\n- A court may also fine $250 to $2,000 on summary conviction.","sources":[{"url":"https://loganlake.civicweb.net/document/4088/","title":"Animal Control and Impoundment Bylaw No. 893, 2022 (PDF), District of Logan Lake","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://loganlake.ca/live-work-here/animal-control-licensing/","title":"Animal Control and Licensing, District of Logan Lake","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://loganlake.ca/your-municipality/contacts/","title":"Contacts, District of Logan Lake","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://loganlake.ca/live-work-here/submit-bylaw-complaint/","title":"Submit a Bylaw Complaint, District of Logan Lake","accessed":"2026-11-08"},{"url":"https://loganlake.civicweb.net/document/3233/","title":"Bylaw Complaint Process Bylaw No. 825 (PDF), District of Logan Lake","accessed":"2026-11-08"}],"sources_read":"2026-11-08","review":{"status":"machine_checked","badge":"Checked against official text","label":"Checked by script, not yet by a person: the official wording behind 5 of 6 facts was matched to the official text; 1 could not be confirmed."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/logan-lake/dangerous-dogs/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/logan-lake/dangerous-dogs.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/logan-lake/dangerous-dogs.json"}}
