Leash and muzzle

Dangerous dogs must be muzzled and leashed on public roads, in public places and in shared parts of apartment buildings, and are barred from public transport, places frequented by children and public events. An old municipal order requires dogs to be muzzled or leashed from 1 June to 30 September and to wear a collar with the owner's details.[1]
