Walking your dogs: the rules

When walking your dog, you have to follow certain rules. Dogs must be kept on a leash in built-up areas and you are responsible for cleaning up after your dog. You can pick up free dog poop bags from the town hall. Separate rules apply for dog walking areas and off-leash dog walking areas.
