Breeding & nesting season (orientation)

From 1 March to 15 July, dogs must be leashed in open countryside, including on adjoining public roads. Violations are administrative offences and can be fined. Individual municipalities may allow exceptions.

This is a simplified overview, not legal advice. For binding rules in 2026 where you live and walk your dog, contact your local authority (e.g. municipal public order office).
