Los Angeles Bans Tethering

"The municipal code that was passed today clearly defines that a dog must not be tethered. It does have caging requirements if needed. The law also has a provision, that you can tether your dog if you are completing a temporary task, like repairing your fence, a party, the gardener, etc. but also is very clear on how to tether your dog. For example, length must be three times the length of the dog and it must be with a body harness free from entanglement with access to food, water and shelter at all times."
