DOGS ON LEASH
A reminder that dogs must be on-leash and under control on all Beckwith Trails. While your dog may be friendly, there are a number of reasons dogs must stay on-leash while on our trails:
Other trail users – humans both large and small – might be scared of dogs.
Another trail user may be allergic to dogs – a dog’s saliva from a friendly lick might cause them to break out into hives.
Whether small, big, young or old, dogs may have different responses if an off-leash dog approaches them, and we have to consider what it means for the owner of the on-leash dog to manage that interaction.
To protect the wildlife on our trails.
Township by-law requires all dogs to be leashed in public areas.
These are community spaces for everyone to enjoy. Let’s all do our part to make sure we can all have a positive experience on our trails.
