St. Michael Code Chapter 90 prohibits dogs from running at large. On any public property, a dog must be on a leash not exceeding 6 feet held by a responsible person, or kept at heel and obedient to voice command. Dogs found at large are impounded.
Chapter 90 (Animals) gives the city authority to confine dogs to the owner's property unless under physical control. The 6-foot maximum leash length is set on the city Animals page and reflects the standard in the chapter. Voice-control 'at heel' is allowed only if the dog clearly responds to commands; an animal that wanders 30 feet ahead of its handler does not qualify. Owners must clean up dog feces on public property and may not allow defecation on private property without consent (city Animals page). Repeat at-large incidents allow the city to impound and bill the owner for impound costs.
At-large violations are misdemeanors under Sec. 10.99 — up to $1,000 fine and 90 days. Impound fees and boarding charges are added at owner expense. Habitual offenders can have their dog declared 'potentially dangerous' under Minn. Stat. § 347.50.
