effective control of dogs

Effective control of a dog under the AMCDA


A person has effective control of a dog if:


    they are physically able to control the dog
    they are holding the dog using a leash, lead or other restraining device
    the dog is securely tethered to a fixed object and under a person's constant supervision
    the dog is kept in an appropriate temporary enclosure that limits the dog's movement
    and is under a person's continuous supervision
    the dog is being confined or tethered in, or on, a vehicle in a way that prevents the dog
    moving any part of its body beyond the vehicle
    the dog is under a person's continuous supervision and control using voice command
    when:
        in an off-leash area
        doing obedience training
        being shown at an exhibition or a race
        acting as a working dog, a dog working for a government organisation or a security
        patrol dog.

Off leash and on leash areas


Council has designated off leash areas. These
areas are outlined in Council’s local laws and
will have signage installed in the immediate
area.   If you cannot locate off leash dog
signage, your dog must be on a leash.
