Does Dyer have a leash law?

TCA 44-8-408 says, "The owner of a dog commits an offense if that dog goes uncontrolled by the owner upon the premises of another without the consent of the owner of the premises or other person authorized to give consent, or goes uncontrolled by the owner upon a highway, public road, street or any other place open to the public generally."

A dog can be on its owner’s property without a leash, but it cannot stray onto another person’s property or out into the street and into public areas. The exception to this law is when the dog is legally hunting or herding.
