• Owners and caregivers must have in their possession the suitable means to pick up their dogs faeces.
• Owners and caregivers must pick up (fines range from $150 to $250).
• The owner and caregiver must ensure a dog doesn’t bark, howl or make other noises that disturb people.
• Chasing pedestrians, cyclists or vehicles (fines range from $50 to $200).
• Causing damage or injury to another animal (fines range from $100 to $250).
