Dogs must be leashed

After receiving numerous complaints about dog owners, the Ramstein-Miesenbach Office of Public Order wants to stress that dog owners must ensure their dogs are walked on a leash on public streets and in public facilities. Outside a city or community, a dog has to be put on a leash immediately when other people approach. Owners must ensure their pets cannot escape in order to avoid dangers for others. Dog owners also need to remove their dogs’ feces on public streets and within housing areas.
