Town of Castle Rock Municipal Code Title 6 (Animals) defines 'control' as keeping the animal on a physical leash, cord or chain not more than ten feet in length, held by a person of sufficient age, size and physical ability to restrain it. E-collars and remote leashes are not acceptable in public settings, and dogs may not run at large. All dogs residing in Town over the age of six months must be licensed.
