What we want: Sec. 14-31. - Unlawful restraint of dogs. (a) No person shall tether, fasten, chain, tie, or restrain a dog, or cause a dog to be tethered, fastened, chained, tied, or restrained, to a dog house, tree, fence, or any other stationary object. (b) Notwithstanding subsection (a), a person may do any of the following: (1) Attach a dog to a running line, pulley, or trolley system. A dog shall not be tethered to the running line, pulley, or trolley system by means of a choke-type, pinch-type, prong-type, or improperly fitting collar; (2) Tether, fasten, chain, tie, or otherwise restrain a dog pursuant to the requirements of a camping or recreational area; or (3) Tether, fasten, chain, or tie a dog no longer than is necessary for the person to complete a temporary task that requires the dog to be restrained for a reasonable period. (c) In all cases where tethering is permissible the following conditions must be met: (1) The tether has the following properties: it is at least five times the length of the dog's body, as measured from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail; it terminates at both ends with a swivel; it does not weigh more than one-eighth of the dog's weight; and it is free of tangles; (2) The dog is tethered in such a manner as to prevent injury, strangulation, or entanglement; (3) The dog is not outside during a period of extreme weather, including without limitation extreme heat or near-freezing temperatures, thunderstorms, tornadoes, tropical storms, or hurricanes; (4) The dog has access to water, adequate shelter, and dry ground; (5) The dog is at least six months of age. Puppies shall not be tethered; and (6) The dog is not sick or injured.
