Dog Off Lead Areas

• A dog can be off a leash whilst accompanied by a competent person who is in reasonable proximity to the dog.
• A competent person is liable for the control of the dog and must be capable of controlling it.
• A competent person carries and is capable of attaching a chain, cord, leash or harness and have sufficient strength for the purpose of controlling the dog.
