These are the local laws where I live. Does your dog need some training to avoid being a public nuisance?
A dog shall be deemed a public nuisance for any of the following reasons (but not limited to):
1) If such a dog is found to be at large;
2) If such dog shall persistently and prolongedly bark or howl;
3) If found without wearing a license and a vaccine tag as required by Section B of this bylaw;
4) If found in a schoolyard, public or private recreation area, store, or shopping area except that a “seeing eye” dog (or other certified assistance dog) under the care and control of its owner shall be deemed to be exempt from this provision;
5) For having bitten or attacked any person;
6) For having killed or maimed or otherwise damaged any wild or domestic animal;
7) For chasing a domesticated animal, pedestrian, or vehicle on a way to which the public has a right to access within the Town;
8) For damaging or destroying property that does not belong to its owner or keeper;
9) Except that a police dog acting in the line of duty shall not be considered a public nuisance;
10) Except that a dog being used as a so-called “hunting dog,” which is being supervised as such by a person demonstrating the ability to control such dog so that it will not be a threat to public safety, shall not be considered a public nuisance;
