Dogs must be kept on a leash no longer than 6 feet at all times outside of designated off-leash areas. A dog is 'at large' if it is neither confined nor physically restrained by a leash.
Lake Havasu City's Title 6 (Animals) requires dogs in public to be on a leash no longer than 6 feet, except in designated off-leash areas. The 'at large' definition covers any dog not confined by an enclosure or physically restrained by a leash — even one under voice control. Animal Control may impound any dog at large, and owners are responsible for impound and boarding fees. Dog licenses are required under § 6.04.020 for any dog over 4 months kept in the city; proof of current rabies vaccination is required to license.
First offense civil fine plus impound and boarding fees if the dog is picked up by Animal Control; repeat or aggravated violations (dog-bite cases) may be charged criminally under Chapter 6.16.
