Dog walking rules Every pet owner living in a metropolitan area should follow this guide.

If in the case of a lapdog or Wolf Spitz this can be classified as a minor nuisance, then a large individual may cause judicial trial.

This regulation is still in effect today. Its observance is mandatory for residents of all Russian cities. Equipment requirements dogs on a walk in the city are indicated in chapter three.

Four rules for walking dogs in Moscow

Release the animal You cannot walk around the city without a leash, no matter where this happens. On a leash without a muzzle, you can walk through natural and artificially landscaped areas, for example, through a forest park, where there are no large quantity passers-by IN in this case the presence of a muzzle remains at the discretion of the owner - if problems arise with the animal, he will be responsible to by law in all its severity.

It is prohibited to pollute public places with feces - for dog should be removed immediately. Today not all residents Moscow are ready for such a measure, although abroad this practice is considered the norm.

Forbid

The appearance of a pet without a muzzle occurs on:

  • Children's sports and playgrounds;
  • Markets and shopping spots;
  • Beaches and outdoor recreational areas.

Law on dog walking in Moscow applies to all places with a large concentration of people. For this reason, you should not drive even the most obedient and calm dog without a muzzle along a busy street. This is understandable, because only its owner knows about the kind and friendly nature of the animal, but the impressive appearance large dog can scare strangers, especially children.

Even on a short leash, wear a muzzle dogs of all breeds in Moscow strictly prohibited in the following areas:

  • Schools and kindergartens;
  • Hospitals and clinics;
  • Educational institutions attended by minors.

You cannot walk with an animal and where children play sports or play: near the buildings of creative clubs, sports sections and children's organizations.

Walking the dog without the necessary leash and muzzle inside the city limits, it is possible only in designated areas. In this case, the area must be fenced so that the animal cannot leave it on its own.

Where can you walk your puppies?

Puppies under 3 months of age are subject to the exceptions listed above. rules . The same applies to small breeds, with a height at the withers of less than 25 centimeters. This is due to the fact that they are not able to pose a threat to people and animals around them. But here we take into account not only the minimal damage that they are able to cause, but also the human attitude. More often, such animals only touch those around them, and do not frighten them. For them, wearing muzzles on daily walks is not necessary.

But if an adult dog a small breed is capable of displaying aggression; these points concern it no less than pit bull terriers and shepherd dogs. Such an animal should not be allowed close to strangers, especially for young children. And although the muzzle law not required, nowadays it can be purchased even for the smallest animals. This should be done in any case, since this item, complete with a leash, is required for trips to public transport Moscow even dwarf breeds. And you should definitely provide large animals with these items.

Rules for local area

Walking animals, especially large ones, is prohibited in the area in front of an apartment building. The place in front of the house is almost always full big amount residents and guests, what makes the presence dogs dangerous, especially when she is not muzzled or on a short leash. But not only this factor is important; possible damage to property must also be taken into account, for which the owner (or person responsible for the pet) bears full responsibility.

Requirements for people accompanying the animal

Dog , equipped in accordance with safety standards is not all that is required to avoid liability. According to law , walking her is prohibited for people who are drunk or under the influence of drugs. Large dogs Children under 14 years of age cannot be accompanied, but this restriction does not apply to small and medium breeds. A child can lead a large animal on a leash only under the supervision of an adult.

One person per premises Moscow It is not allowed to accompany two or more dogs large breeds. At the same time, a joint walk of several large animals with a similar number of people is acceptable.

Walking time Moscow

There are no time restrictions for walking. You can walk your pet at any time of the day, but between 11 pm and 7 am you need to remember about silence, which all city residents must strictly observe.

Responsibility for failure to comply with the order

Animal owners bear full administrative responsibility for violations of the basic principles dog walking , according to the norms of local Administrative Codes. In the capital, this is Article 5.1 of the Administrative Code Moscow . It spells out all the rules that apply not only to walking, but also to keeping animals in a city apartment. Here we're talking about about minor damage that falls under the classification of administrative violations. If the pet’s behavior has caused serious harm to other persons, this situation requires regulation under federal legislation, for example, under the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.

Special attention from the authorities Moscow attracted representatives of fighting breeds and similar large animals. Due to their physical characteristics, they represent a source increased danger. When such dog injures one of the people, the victim has the right to file a claim for compensation from the offender for moral damage, in accordance with Article 1079 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the defendant may be brought to criminal liability if the harm to health is noticeable, and property was damaged or irretrievably lost. Then, in accordance with Art. 168 and 118 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the victim can file a claim in court.

If due to the owner's negligence dog caused damage only to the material property of the victim, without causing harm to him, the situation falls only under Article 118 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The defendant is ordered to pay a fine in the amount of 500-1000 rubles. If there was harm to health, but it turned out to be insignificant, then the fine increases to an amount of 4,000 to 5,000 rubles. The same is true when another animal dies or is seriously injured after an attack.

Dog baiting on people or other animals is punishable by a fine of 2000-5000 rubles. If as a result the animal causes harm to a third party, Articles 111, 112 or 115 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation come into force. The application of the articles depends on the severity of the harm caused.

For other, less serious violations committed on the territory Moscow a fine of 1000-2000 rubles is imposed. Among them:

  • Contamination of entrances, staircases, local areas, parks, streets and other places with dog waste;
  • Walks without leashes and muzzles in retail outlets, public transport, on beaches and recreation areas, as well as nearby educational institutions and healthcare institutions;
  • Walking a large dog in a protected conservation area.

To avoid possible violation order, to eliminate the threat to the health and property of citizens, it would be rational to entrust walks with animals to specialists. Company employees Dog walking ”comply with the rules, but at the same time do not infringe on the animal. You can be confident in the safety of your pet and others, comfort and compliance with all standards.

Several Yet important points about walking with pets

If on the territory Moscow has its own Code of Administrative Offenses, then in the Moscow region this document is still under development. For this reason, imposing penalties on citizens for violations of order dog walking is carried out in accordance with the requirements of federal legislation. At the same time, many regional centers of the region have their own standards for both walking and keeping pets on their territory. When an offense occurs within their boundaries, the court is guided primarily by these regulations.

These rules do not apply to those owners whose dogs caused serious harm to the health of people and animals, which carries criminal penalties. In such cases law operates equally throughout Russia.

The basic standards for keeping animals, prescribed in regional and city codes, are similar to each other. None locality It is not allowed to walk in public places with dogs without leashes and muzzles, it is prohibited for drunk people to accompany animals.

Only a few documents out of dozens spell out the difference between large and small breeds, in most regulatory rules responsibility for the behavior of small pets does not differ from that for large animals. A special place is occupied by fighting and hunting breeds, since they have a natural tendency towards aggression, which means they can cause serious danger to others. Animal behavior can and should be corrected and regulated, and experienced dog handlers, veterinary psychologists, and veterinarians can handle this - contact us with any question, we will find a solution.
