  • Walk the dog only on public property.
  • Pick up after the dog. Dispose of bags only in public trash cans or the one in front of CCR.
  • Please maintain a “five foot bubble” of personal space around you, your dog, and other people and dogs. You may need to cross the street or change direction in order to protect this bubble.
  • Do not let the dog eat or drink anything off the ground.
  • Do not take the dogs anywhere in your car. Remain in the immediate neighborhood of CCR.
  • Please keep two hands free at all times while walking – no texting, talking on the phone, pushing a stroller, or carrying drinks while you walk.
