Victorville requires dogs to be on a leash no longer than 6 feet whenever off the owner property under VMC Title 7. Dogs running at large are subject to impound and owner citation.
Victorville Municipal Code Title 7 requires dogs in public or on any private property other than the owner property to be restrained by a leash held by a competent person, with a leash length typically limited to 6 feet. A dog at large is any dog off the owner premises and not on leash, and Animal Care and Control officers can impound the dog and issue a citation to the owner. Dogs in parked cars and on public rights-of-way must still be leashed or safely confined. Victorville does not operate an off-leash dog park inside city limits at time of code review, so voice-control alone is not a defense in enforcement cases. Desert environmental conditions such as extreme summer heat (often exceeding 105 F) mean dogs left tethered without shade and water can trigger separate cruelty enforcement under California Penal Code Section 597 plus the city tethering rules in VMC Title 7.
