Englewood requires dogs off the owner's property to be on a leash no longer than six feet, including the hand grip.
Under Englewood's Animals chapter, it is unlawful for any owner to permit a dog, licensed or not, to run at large within the City. A dog is deemed running at large when off the owner's premises and not on a leash, tether, chain, or rope no longer than six feet, including the hand grip, held by a person able to control the dog. In public parks, dogs are only permitted on designated pathways and areas while leashed. The Animal Control Officer may impound dogs found running at large.
Walking a dog off-leash, using a leash longer than six feet, or allowing a dog to roam off your property triggers impoundment and fines under the Animals chapter.
