New York State Agriculture and Markets Law Section 121 requires dogs to be leashed or under owner control in public. Ulster County towns enforce leash laws through local dog control ordinances.
Kingston, Woodstock, New Paltz, and most Ulster towns require dogs to be leashed on all public property including streets, parks, and trails unless in a designated off-leash area. Ulster County parks require 6-foot maximum leashes. State parks and Catskill Forest Preserve lands managed by DEC require leashes under 6 NYCRR Part 190. Off-leash violations carry tickets and can escalate if the dog attacks people or livestock.
Contact your local code enforcement office for specific penalty information.
