[quote="anon-7o21"]Thanks Susan. Sorry if I misunderstood or am taking this especially seriously- I was attacked and scarred by an unleashed German Shepard as a small child and think this is way too easy to prevent for my own children to warrant any debate, ambiguity, or need for alternative solutions. Anyway, to be clear, we all seem to agree that: 1- it is illegal to let your dog run unleashed and free anywhere in town except on your own property 2- no effort (such as a dog park) is going to resolve this issue in any way. Residents who would like to let their dogs run free but do not have a yard are encouraged to use one of the three local dog parks in west Windsor, plainsboro or jamesburg 3- if you see a free, unleashed dog anywhere in town on public property, such as a park, please, DO NOT HESITATE to contact the Cranbury Police Department at (609) 395-0031 and ask that they come to that location to issue a citation for violation of our ordinances against this.[/quote]

Technically they still cannot run around not on a leash, even there in the preserve. But who is going to enforce it?

Post subject: Re: Walking a dog without a leash?
My neighbor has had issues with their invisible fence once the wire got chewed by some animal the second time the dog got out chasing a squirrel and appeared it was afraid to go back in. From his point of view he is concerned over the safety of his dog getting loose. I had to place boards around my fence as the dog would dig under and get loose. In those circumstances there is a ton of worry about the harm that could happen to the loose dog and I am sure from others seeing a loose dog. Serving a ticket in that scenario to me doesn't make sense as there is no intent.
If a dog is running loose in a yard with no invisible or hard fence and leaves the yard or in a park that is a different story and I would expect the officers to issue tickets.

No --- the promo should be "Cranbury's Most Wanted Mutt Owners". Noboday at the township level takes this seriously. While walikg my leashed dogs I have been attacked by two dogs that were "restrained" by an Invisible Fence" at two different times. On the second occasion I called the police. The police came and spoke to the owners but took no action. The dogs still are a menace and now I can no longer walk my dogs down that street!Warnings just don't get the job done. Its about time the township took a stand and stops pussy footing around the dog issues.

If a group of residents want to buy land and maintain a dog park I am okay.
However, I don't want a dog park if it means Public works has more work to do and this creates a cost to us.
Also, let's be honest. Cranbury is not a condo or apartment town like Plainsboro or Jamesburg. Most residents in Cranbury have yards and dogs can run in them. Dogs are not kids they don't need social time with other dogs. Having shown dogs and been involved with breeders I find dog parks controversial. In a town like Cranbury it's purely for adult social gatherings. In a town like Plainsboro they are a necessary evil as many residents don't have a place for dogs to run and play.

Dogs need a place to run free!
A doggie park could provide a safe place so they can run and the residents could be very safe.
Needs a no leash fenced area they can play as well for non aggressive dogs so they can run free.
If the animal was not penned up in the house all day some of those incidents I have been reading here about animal attack might not have happened.
That is tortorous on an animal to do.

We've got tons of open land, and a town full of big dogs that need to run.
At the end of the day, we've all got to be responsible for our actions. This includes taking responsibility for whatever problems our off leash dogs cause, including having them put down. We dont need one size fits all laws for every single isolated incident.
Working/herding dogs gotta run. It's in their blood. I'm not stopping, sorry!
Work on your recall training folks!
Get a large yard then and fence it so your dog can run free. Or take them to existing dog parks, there are plenty in the area. As you said, people have to be responsible for their actions. That includes not taking on getting a working or herding dogs if you aren't prepared for the commitment to find legal means to exercise them. Breaking the law by taking it off leash on public property is not taking responsibility.

And these tactics from the very group that labels those who disagree with them "trolls".....the hypocrisy is deep here.
