Dog stroller A wheeled carrier that lets you push a small, older or injured dog, designed for dogs that cannot walk far, not as a replacement for exercise. Dog walker A person paid to take a dog out for exercise and toilet breaks while the owner is away, either one-on-one or in a group. Leash law A local or state rule that requires a dog to be on a leash or under control in public, with set exceptions such as designated off-leash areas. Off-leash When a dog is allowed to move without a leash, legal only in places that permit it, such as fenced dog parks, some trails and private land. Dog park A public fenced area where dogs can play off leash, usually with separate sections for small and large dogs and rules for owners.
