A dog is at large if it is not leashed and under the immediate control of a competent person on a street, in a park or in another public space, or if it strays or trespasses on private property, or is on unfenced land and not securely tethered or contained. A leash may not exceed 183 centimetres (about 6 feet).\n\n## Good to know\n\n- Off-leash areas: the bylaw refers to \"designated Dog Parks\" but does not list them, and no list or map was found. Ask the Municipal Office at 250-523-6225 for current locations.\n- No person may keep an animal on a street, in a public park or in a public space that bans animals with posted signs. Dogs in signed no-animal areas are ticketed.\n- At Lakeview Plaza, dogs must be on a leash or under effective control (ticket $10).\n- A dog at large is a $45 ticket for a first offence, $75 for a second and $125 for a third.\n- Failing to remove animal waste is a ticketable offence under the Protection of Municipal Property Bylaw 725, with a $50 ticket. The bylaw's own wording could not be read, so ask the District what it requires.\n- No named bans on beaches, playgrounds or sports fields were found; bans depend on signs.","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.civicweb.net/document/4408/","title":"Ticketing of Bylaw Offences Bylaw No. 660, 2010 (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 7 of 7 facts was matched to the official text."},"urls":{"html":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/logan-lake/dog-leash-rules/","markdown":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/logan-lake/dog-leash-rules.md","json":"https://govhandbook.com/ca/bc/logan-lake/dog-leash-rules.json"}}
