Boise requires dogs to be leashed in all public areas under BCC Title 5, Chapter 1. Idaho Code section 25-2805 also prohibits dogs running at large. Designated off-leash dog parks include Ann Morrison, Military Reserve, Morris Hill, and Together Treasure Valley Dog Park.
BCC 5-1-3 requires every dog in Boise to be restrained on a leash no longer than 8 feet when off the owner's property, with limited exceptions for designated off-leash areas. Idaho Code 25-2805 makes dog running at large a statewide infraction. Boise maintains six off-leash dog parks managed by Boise Parks and Recreation: Ann Morrison, Military Reserve, Morris Hill, Redwood, Together Treasure Valley, and Hobble Creek. The Boise Foothills Ridge to Rivers trail system permits voice control off-leash on most trails, though leash requirements apply on paved pathways and within 50 feet of trailheads. Greenbelt paths require leashes at all times.
First offense 50 dollars. Second within 12 months 100 dollars. Impoundment fees start at 35 dollars plus daily boarding.
