Dogs should be leashed any time they present a con Dogs should be leashed any time they present a conflict with other dogs, wildlife, trail users, or wander onto private property. If you're hiking in an area that allows off-leash dogs, only let your dog run free if you can see your dog at all times and maintain verbal control.
