Doggy Rules from Police Chief Mike Grant.

I think that most people agree that there is nothing quite like taking a nice walk through Stallion Springs. To enhance that walk, some residents love to stroll through the community with their dogs. 

"But wait! What is that up ahead, a loose dog. Is it going to be friendly? Will it attack my dog? Will it attack me? Maybe that's the owner! I wonder why they don't put their dog on a leash. Don't they know it's causing me stress just wondering what their dog is going to do?" 

Has this happened to you? It really shouldn't. It's not fair, it's irresponsible and it's just plain un-neighborly. 

Summertime is officially here and your friends at the Stallion Springs Police Department wanted you to know that dogs off leash, barking dogs, and dogs creating a nuisance increase calls for service during the summer time. 

In an effort to educate the public, reduce residential stress, and to keep all of us safe, I wanted you to be aware of the types of municipal and penal codes we typically begin to enforce during the summertime.

We will normally offer a warning and a bit of advice before actually issuing a citation, but unfortunately, we are forced to occasionally issue the following types of citations: Habitual barking or howling dog, Dog running at large (leash law), Failure to maintain enclosure for animal, Public nuisance (ongoing issue).

All of these codes are misdemeanors and carry fines; not to mention having to appear in court for the citation and the cost to the district for police officers who may have to appear as well.

To keep Stallion Springs the tranquil, pleasant community we know it to be, please follow the following neighborly rules:

Bring your dog inside during hours of darkness so the barking doesn't drive your neighbors up the wall. If you have a habitual barker on your hands, perhaps a bark collar (which is way less money than a citation) could help. When off of your property, keep your dog on a leash. Maintain a secure enclosure so that your dog cannot dig under, jump over or push down your fencing. Be neighborly and pick up after your dog during walks.
