How it works
In Logan Lake, Animal Control and Impoundment Bylaw 893 says no person may permit an animal to be at large. 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).

- A dog at large is a $45 ticket for a first offence, $75 for a second and $125 for a third.
