MARCH NEWSLETTER
As I am putting my March newsletter together with my dogs happily laying at my feet, content and sated from a wonderful long walk in the warm sunshine....and MUD!
As much as I love the return of warmer weather, seems to warm my spirit, I dread the mud! If it isn't one of my children carelessly tracking it through the house, it is the dogs..but ohh well...warm weather is on it's way!!

Guelph Dog Leash Laws
With the time change (springing forward) and the warmer weather, it makes many more of us want to be outside more with our dogs.
Many parks in Guelph have off-leash areas, unfortunately none totally fenced. These areas do have restrictions. If caught not following the leash laws you could be fined.
TAKEN FROM THE GUELPH COMMUNITY GUIDELeash Free Zones
Be a responsible pet owner
The City of Guelph’s animal control bylaw was designed
to restrict dogs from running at large in the city. A dog is “at large” if
the dog is in a place other than the premises of the owner and not under control
of any person. This includes trails, school yards, driveways, and other public
and private property.
What does this mean?
In most areas of the city dogs must be on a leash and under control of their
handlers. When on a leash, “under control” means the dog is prevented from
approaching within one metre of other animals and people.
Where can dogs be off-leash?
Certain parks in the city are designated off-leash areas1. Dogs must remain
under control, even when in designated off-leash areas. When off-leash, “under
control” means the dog remains close to its handler (within sight and
earshot), responds to voice commands, and is prevented from approaching within
one metre of other animals and people.
Pit bulls are not exempt from the provisions of the Dog Owner’s Liability
Act (DOLA) or Bill 132 in leash-free parks. Pit bulls must be leashed, muzzled
and under the control of their guardians in leash-free parks.
Leash-free zones:
