7 Good Reasons to Keep Your Dog On Leash

To respect other park users. Some people are allergic to dogs. Some people fear them, even friendly ones.
To prevent injuries. If your dog frightens or jumps on a child or a senior, they could fall or be easily injured.
To keep them from chasing or harassing wildlife.
To protect species at risk. Piping plover nests are easily destroyed by a dog running on the beach.
To reduce the risk of fights with other dogs.
To minimize unpleasant or painful encounters with wildlife such as skunks or porcupines.
To keep your dog safe. Your dog can't read signs that warn of eroding cliffs, drop-offs or other hazards!
