Some states have statewide dog leash laws. These laws are referred to as "running at large statutes." Many states do not have statewide leash laws, but counties, cities, towns, and municipalities have laws that determine when a dog must be leashed and not "running at large." These leash laws sometimes require dogs to be registered and wear an identification tag.
In Nevada, there is no statewide leash law, commonly known as a 'running at large statute.' Instead, leash laws are determined by local ordinances at the county, city, or town level. These local regulations dictate when and where a dog must be leashed to prevent them from 'running at large.' In many areas of Nevada, dogs are required to be on a leash when they are off their owner's property. Additionally, local jurisdictions may have requirements for dog registration and the wearing of identification tags. Dog owners in Nevada should check with their local animal control or government offices to understand the specific leash laws and registration requirements that apply in their area.
