Under NLVMC Title 6 Animals, all pets regardless of age or size must be leashed at all times unless confined on or within the owner's property.

Licensed off-leash dog parks include Craig Ranch Regional Park Dog Park where leashes are not required within the fenced off-leash area but are required to and from. Dogs must be licensed annually with Clark County Animal Control and rabies vaccinated per NRS 441A. Retractable leashes over 6 feet are discouraged in busy pedestrian areas. Unaltered dogs face higher license fees. Repeat at-large violations can trigger dangerous-dog proceedings under NRS 202.500.
