Dogs in public places in Honolulu must be restrained by a leash, cord, or chain of no more than eight feet under ROH Chapter 7 Article 4, with stricter six-foot and adult-handler rules for dogs declared dangerous.
ROH Chapter 7 Article 4 governs general dog regulation in Honolulu, including leashing. On public streets, public and private school grounds, and other public places across Urban Honolulu, dogs must be under owner control by leash, cord, chain, or similar physical restraint no longer than eight feet. Definitions appear at ROH 7-4.1. Leashing in public parks is separately governed by ROH 10-1.7, which owners should consult alongside the general article. Dogs declared dangerous under Article 7 face stricter controls at ROH 7-7.2, including a six-foot maximum leash length and handling by an adult.
Off-leash or overly long leash violations in public areas are citable under Article 4; dangerous-dog leash violations carry higher penalties under ROH 7-7.2.
