Leashes protect dogs from becoming lost and from regional hazards such as porcupines, mountain lions, bears, coyotes, snakes, other dogs and sick, injured, or rabid animals.

The Pikes Peak Humane Society will enforce leash laws rails on trails and in Open Spaces and Parks by ticketing the owners, when posted leash laws are abused.

Unleashed dogs intimidate other trail users and their dogs depriving them of the peace our parks and trails provide.

Unleashed dogs harass, injure and sometimes kill wildlife.

Horses can be easily frightened or upset by dogs, thus endangering the dog, the horse and the rider.

A leashed dog's keen senses can enhance your awareness of nearby wildlife or other wilderness visitors.

Unleashed dogs increase the probability of dogs being banned from your favorite public lands and trails.

Failure to leash your dog may result in a fine.
