Rohnert Park requires dogs to be leashed or confined and prohibits dogs running at large; dogs off the owner's property must be leashed. Animal services enforces and may impound loose dogs. California requires dog licensing.
Rohnert Park requires dogs to be leashed or confined: off the owner's property, a leash is mandatory, and letting a dog run at large is a violation. Animal services enforces the rules and can impound loose dogs, with owners covering fees to get them back. California's licensing requirement applies too, so dogs should carry current license and rabies tags — both come up immediately when a dog is picked up. The rules apply to friendly dogs as much as difficult ones; at-large is about location, not temperament. Designated off-leash areas are the exception.
