HELENA â Helena leaders will discuss a proposal for off-leash dog enforcement at their administrative meeting next week.
According to city documents, more use on Helena s open lands has led to more dogs on trails and parks. In the last year, city officials have received complaints of dogs not being under voice command, which is a requirement.
Generally, dogs are able to be unleashed when on the open lands, within 100 yards of a trailhead and under voice control. But with more complaints comes the proposed restriction of dogs on leashes.
