Sort of true. Maryland does not have leash laws, but counties do. Calvert is online, but I can't find St. Mary's.

First thats St Mary's regulation not Maryland. Maryland does not have leash laws, the individual Counties and/or localities have them.

Second AT LARGE is not the same as on the owners property. The original poster stated the Dogs were on the owners property. According to St Mary's regulations the isnt a need to leash the dogs. There could be different ordinances, either by city or Home Owners Association that may stipulate that.

I think that is reg. is pretty vague. That leaves all kinds of room for interpretation. I could certainly see letting a dog roam all over your 320 acre farm, but not all over your yard when the houses are 50' apart.

Why? As long as the dog doesn't leave the property it isn't "at large".

So to you, locked tight means locked forever and ever?

Um...if you close your front door, is it automatically locked? No, you have to LOCK it. When a dog closes its mouth, it is not LOCKED, it's just SHUT. That would be the difference.

I guess I just don't know what at large means.

They're saying any dog not on the owner's property (and not restrained) is at large...unless the owner is in pursuit...then the dog isn't considered at large.

What do you think "locked" means? I noticed that you didn't answer my previous question...

Have you all ever heard the term "locking your knees"? There is no physical mechanism to actually do this, like a special bone or something, yet the term exists. For whatever the heck that is worth.

Well, dang nab it, all this time I thought my old dog and I were desperados when she would run off and I was out looking for her. I would even play that song on my CD player while driving up and down the street looking.:lmao:
