In North Rhine-Westphalia, leashes are required in pedestrian zones, fenced parks with playgrounds, at events and in public buildings, among other places. Dogs classed as dangerous must be leashed outside your own property; large dogs (from 40 cm at the withers or 20 kg) must be leashed in built-up areas on streets, paths and squares. In forests your dog may only run free on paths; off the paths a leash is required, and nature reserves often have stricter rules. The state recommends leashing dogs from 1 March to 31 July to protect young animals and ground-nesting birds. Cities and municipalities may have additional rules, so follow the signs.
