On a line, leash or chain held by such
owner and securely attached to the collar or harness on such dog, or
similarly secured so that the dog is under control, or
-
Tied fast by a leash or chain which is
securely attached to the collar on such dog, or
-
Confined on the owners property by
fencing or in a fully enclosed yard so that such dog cannot escape
there from, or
-
Confined in a kennel, shed or other
building so that such dog cannot escape.
Provided however, that this sub-clause
shall not apply to any dog registered as a working dog while under
control of its owner or his agent for the time being for working
purposes or is being taken by such person to or from the place where it
is to be kept or has been employed for such purpose.
6.2 During this period the owner of a dog, while it is kept under proper
control, shall ensure that such dog is provided with adequate shelter
and that no unnecessary suffering is caused to such dog by the manner in
which such proper control is exercised.
6.3 Any dog found in breach of sub-clause 6.1 or 6.2 may be impounded
under the provisions of Section 52 of the Dog Control Act 1996.
