◦ Notes & gotchas

Day-to-day leashing requirements live in city or county ordinances. Before relying on this page, look up the specific code for your municipality — it's the binding rule, not state law. Most US cities require dogs to be leashed in public unless inside a designated off-leash area. Omaha Municipal Code § 6-91 requires dogs to be on a leash whenever off the owner's property, with exceptions for off-leash parks. Other Nebraska cities have similar rules.
