Littleton requires dogs on leash in all public areas under Title 6, Chapter 2. The South Platte River Trail and High Line Canal Trail through Littleton require leash compliance. Off-leash exercise is permitted only at designated city dog parks.
Littleton's animal regulations (Title 6, Ch. 2) require all dogs to be on a leash when off the owner's property. The South Platte River Trail and High Line Canal Trail, two of metro Denver's most popular multi-use trails, pass through Littleton and require leash compliance. Off-leash exercise is permitted only in designated city dog parks. Dogs must be licensed and have current rabies vaccination. The Littleton Police Department's Animal Control officer handles complaints and enforcement. Chatfield State Park's off-leash dog area near Littleton is a popular alternative but requires a Colorado State Parks pass. Wildlife encounters (deer, coyotes) along the river and canal trails make leash compliance a safety concern.
Dog at large: impoundment and owner fines. Unlicensed dog: citation. Aggressive dog: enhanced penalties.
