§ 92.08 ANIMAL CARE; MANNER OF KEEPING.

(C)   No person shall tether an animal to a stationary or inanimate object as a means of confinement or restraint unless such person is able to observe and hear and attend to the animal if necessary. Animals maintained on a tether must be in an area free of objects that may cause entanglements. All tethers must be a minimum of six feet in length and longer if appropriate for breed (i.e. Irish Wolfhound, Borzoi, Great Dane, St. Bernard, etc.). Choke type or prong type collars shall be used only while the animal is under the handler’s direct control. Between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., animals shall not be on a tether outdoors.
