Whether walking in public or on private property, all dog owners should be familiar with all laws, bylaws and regulations pertaining to their dogs, including the National Capital Commission Domestic Animal Regulations, the Ottawa’s Animal Care and Control Bylaws and Ontario’s Dog Owner Liability Act (2005). Owners of dogs that are restricted under the Provincial Dog Owners’ Liability Act should also be familiar with the new Pit Bull Controls.
