Print article A proposed change to Anchorage’s leash law would rule out electronic collars and require dogs to be walked on a physical leash in public places. Changes to the leash law have been in the works for years and came after repeated complaints and reports of off-leash and aggressive dogs, said Michelle Sinnott, who is a chair of the volunteer-based Title 17 committee that is working under the Animal Control Advisory Board to draft the ordinance. An average of about 2,400 calls are received by Anchorage Animal Care and Control each year about off-leash or unconfined animals, mostly dogs, said Tamiah Liebersbach, the administration manager for the municipal health department, which works alongside the Animal Control Advisory Board. Hundreds of the calls are regarding an aggressive animal, she said.
