2  SAN  FRANCISCO  RECREATION  &  PARK  DEPARTMENT 
DRAFT  DOG  POLICY 

1.0       INTRODUCTION 

In  preparation  for  the  draft  dog  policy,  we  have  performed  extensive  research  and  compilations 
of  policies  and  data  of  dog  parks  throughout  the  country  and  world.  The  following  draft  policy 
reflects  the  RPD  Draft  Strategic  Plan,  SF  Municipal  Codes,  the  1998  Dog  Task  Force1 
recommendations,  as  well  as  the  best  and  most  relevant  efforts  of  established  dog  park  designs 
and  policies. 

The  San  Francisco  Recreation  &  Park  Department  (RPD)  welcomes  dogs  on  leash  in  most  of  its 
parks;  dogs  are  currently  allowed  off-leash  in  19  designated  areas.  The  Dog  Task  Force  has 
recommended  increasing  the  number  of  established  sites,  (see  Appendix  for  existing  sites  and 
task  force  recommendations)  Dogs  are  not  allowed  in  some  areas  as  noted  in  3.1  of  this  policy. 

The  following  policy  supports  continued  and  increased  education  about  how  to  be  a  responsible 
park  user  with  your  pet.  RPD  believes  the  off-leash  dog  issue  is  not  entirely  about  dogs  but  a 
debate  about  appropriate  uses  for,  and  stewardship  of  scarce  urban  parklands  and  open  spaces, 
which  are  stretched  to  accommodate  all  the  uses  San  Franciscans  propose  for  them.  This  policy 
outlines  rules  and  guidelines  to  allow  all  citizens  to  share  urban  parks  and  open  spaces  without 
endangering  one  another  or  adversely  affecting  these  spaces.  The  intention  of  the  rules  is  to 
assure  San  Francisco  citizens  and  park  visitors  a  quality  and  safe  experience  in  our  parks,  which 
belong  to  all  of  us,  and  to  future  generations. 

2.0       DEFINITIONS 

To  provide  consistency  in  this  document,  the  following  terms  will  apply  throughout: 

RPD:  San  Francisco  Recreation  and  Park  Department 

DP  A:  Dog  Play  Area  as  defined  by  RPD,  a  designated  park  space  for  off-leash  dogs  use 

Owner:  shall  mean  any  person  who  possesses,  has  title  to  or  an  interest  in,  harbors  or  has  control, 
custody  or  possession  of  an  animal,  and  the  verb  forms  of  "to  own"  shall  include  all  those  shades 
of  meaning.  (SF  Health  Code,  section  41.  g) 

Partner(s):  Dog  Play  Areas  require  an  active  volunteer  or  partner  program  to  assist  with 
monitoring  and  maintenance.  Partners  must  demonstrate  their  commitment,  organizational  skills 
and  willingness  to  support  and  promote  the  DPA  standards. 

MOU:  Memorandum  of  Understanding 


1  Pursuant  to  the  Board  of  Supervisors  Resolution  #  359-98,  the  Advisory  Dogs-Off  Leash  Task  force  was  formed. 
Establishment  of  the  Task  Force  to  assess  use  of  parks  by  San  Franciscans  with  their  dogs  off  leash,  to  investigate 
and  to  recommend  solutions  for  improving  conditions  in  City  parks,  and  to  look  for  ways  to  provide  sufficient  off 
leash  opportunities  for  San  Francisco  dog  owners.  Footnote  Task  Force  Report.    Neither  the  Board  nor  Rec/Park 
Commission  formally  adopted  the  report  and  its  recommendations. 


3  SAN  FRANCISCO  RECREATION  &  PARK  DEPARTMENT 
DRAFT  DOG  POLICY 

Athletic  Fields:  Any  field  for  which  the  RPD  accepts  paid,  permit  reservations  (see  appendix) 

Children  's  Play  Area:  Any  area  that  is  in  immediate  proximity  to  children's  play  structure  or 
apparatus  and  sandbox. 

Significant  Natural  Resource  Area:  The  Significant  Natural  Resources  Management  Plan 
(SNRAMP),  adopted  by  the  Recreation  and  Park  Commission  in  1995,  lists  over  30  open  spaces 
throughout  the  city  as  Significant  Natural  Resource  Areas  (SNRAs).  Significant  Natural 
Resource  Areas  are  generally  remnants  of  San  Francisco's  original  landscape  and  support 
important  plant  and  animal  populations  and  habitats 

While  the  list  in  the  SNRAMP  provides  a  good  framework  for  identifying  SNRAs,  it  is  general 
and  is  not  necessarily  reflective  of  on-the-ground  resources.  For  example,  not  all  land  within  a 
designated  SNRA  is  an  important  natural  resource  area  (e.  g.,  lawns  or  areas  where  the  landforms 
and  vegetation  have  been  highly  altered).  Similarly,  some  parks  or  portions  of  parks  not  listed  in 
the  SNRAMP  contain  habitat  for  sensitive  species  (e.  g.,  portions  of  Lincoln  Park  and  Golden 
Gate  Park).  Therefore,  each  park  and  open  space  must  be  evaluated  on  a  case  by  case  basis  in 
order  to  determine  the  boundaries  of  the  SNRA. 

Some  criteria  that  should  be  considered  when  determining  the  boundaries  of  Significant  Natural 
Resource  Areas  are  provided  below. 

•  Areas  of  existing  intact  native  plant  communities  (remnants  of  the  original  landscape) 

•  All  habitat  areas  that  support,  or  are  likely  to  support,  locally  important,  rare,  threatened  or 
endangered  species  (examples  include  red-tailed  hawk  nesting  sites,  heron  rookeries, 
cormorant  nesting  colonies,  red-legged  frog  habitat,  western  pond  turtle  habitat,  wetlands, 
significant  migratory  bird  habitat,  quail  habitat  areas) 

•  Active  restoration  sites 

•  Areas  that  have  the  potential  to  be  restored.  These  areas  typically  would  contain  unaltered  or 
un-manipulated  soils  or  substrate  and  would  not  have  been  heavily  landscaped  in  the  past. 
Typically  these  areas  would  be  located  adjacent  to  intact  natural  areas. 

•  Areas  that  function  as  wildlife  corridors  or  would  link,  or  make  contiguous,  together  two  or 
more  nearby  natural  area  fragments. 

•  Buffer  areas  around  intact  native  plant  communities  and  important  wildlife  habitat  areas. 

3.0  SITE  CRITERIA  FOR  OFF-LEASH  USE 

RPD  will  use  the  following  criteria  as  defined  below  for  both  existing  and  new  DP  As. 

3.1  LOCATION 

The  density  of  the  dog  population  varies  from  community  to  community.  The  requirements  of 
one  community  may  not  be  the  same  as  a  neighboring  community.  The  size  and  nature  of  each 
DP  A  will  be  determined  by  several  factors  including,  but  not  limited  to,  available  park  land, 
proximity  to  significant  natural  areas,  dog  population  and  other  park  uses.  It  is  RPD's  desire  to 


4  SAN  FRANCISCO  RECREATION  &  PARK  DEPARTMENT 
DRAFT  DOG  POLICY 

provide  DPA  opportunities  in  all  neighborhoods.  However,  not  unlike  pools,  or  athletic  fields, 
some  neighborhoods  do  not  have  adequate  park  space  to  meet  this  goal.  Therefore,  RPD  will 
work  closely  with  the  Dog  Advisory  Group  and  community  partners  to  identify  suitable  spaces 
for  additional  DP  As. 

DP  As  should  be  neighborhood  friendly  and,  at  a  minimum,  will  be  located  where  they  will  not 
adversely  impact  the  surrounding  neighborhood  and  open  space  by: 

•  Causing  ongoing  conflicts  due  to  overcrowding 

•  Causing  detriment  to  the  surrounding  environment  such  as  digging  or  wallowing 

•  Causing  displacement  of  established  recreational  activities  including  passive 
recreation2 

•  Compromising  the  intent  of  the  DPA  to  allow  dogs  and  owners  to  exercise  and 
socialize  in  a  safe  area  away  from  other  park  activities 

Siting  shall  also  take  into  account  the  following: 

•  DP  As  shall  be  sufficiently  distant  from  residences  so  that  noise  and  activity  levels  are 
no  more  disruptive  to  neighbors  than  typical  park  uses.  Some  noise  is  expected  and 
will  not  be  used  as  a  reason  to  disallow  the  establishment  of  a  DPA 

•  DP  As  shall  comply  with  all  codes  and  regulations  as  they  apply  to  the  Federal 
Americans  with  Disabilities  Act  (ADA)  and  California  Title  24. 

While  dogs  are  allowed  in  most  park  areas,  dogs  are  not  allowed  in  the  following  areas: 

•  Athletic  fields 

•  Children's  play  areas 

•  Sensitive  habitat  areas  (as  defined  in  appendix) 

•  Significant  natural  areas/Native  habitat 

•  Areas  prohibited  in  Park  Code  Sec.5.023 


3.2       SIZE 

Wherever  possible,  DP  As  should  be  at  least  30,000  square  feet.  The  minimum  size  of  a  DPA 
shall  be  8,000  square  feet,  (approximately  800  square  feet  larger  than  a  tennis  court.)  RPD 
modified  National  Parks  and  Recreation  Association  standards  for  DPAs  of  a  minimum  of 


2  The  Department  does  alter  uses  based  on  community  needs.  This  does  not  preclude  options  to  use  guideline 
considerations. 

Sec.5.02.  Animals  prohibited  from  certain  areas.  No  person,  other  than  members  of  the  Police  Mounted  Detail 
when  on  duty,  shall,  in  any  park,  allow  any  animal  in  his  or  her  custody  to  enter  any  building,  the  Zoological 
Gardens,  or  those  areas  of  Golden  Gate  Park  known  as  the  Arboretum  Japanese  Tea  Garden  and  Conservatory 
valley,  or  any  playground,  sandbox  or  other  area  reserved  for  children,  or  to  enter  or  drink  the  water  of  any  drinking 
fountain,  lake  or  pond,  except  at  places  designated  and  maintained  for  such  purpose.  Notwithstanding  the  above 
provision,  a  blind  person  may  enter  buildings,  the  Arboretum  Japanese  Tea  Garden  and  Conservatory  Valley  with  a 
guide  dog  (i.e.  service  dog). 


5  SAN  FRANCISCO  RECREATION  &  PARK  DEPARTMENT 
DRAFT  DOG  POLICY 

10,000  sq.  feet,  due  to  the  constraints  of  available  open  space  within  the  jurisdiction  of  RPD  and 
the  relative  landmass  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco. 

3.3  CAPACITY 

RPD  will  post  each  DP  A  with  a  recommended  occupancy.  The  occupancy  is  the  recommended 
maximum  number  of  dogs  that  can  effectively  and  safely  use  a  given  DPA  at  any  one  time.  Users 
are  expected  to  self  regulate  to  the  posted  recommended  occupancy. 

The  capacity  of  a  DPA  shall  be  400  square  feet  per  1  (one)  dog.  Thus,  a  minimum-sized  DPA  of 
8,000  square  feet  shall  have  a  recommended  occupancy  of  20  dogs  inside  the  DPA  at  any  one 

time. 

3.4  BOUNDARIES/BARRIERS 

DPAs  require  adequate  delineation,  natural  or  man-made,  to  protect  dogs  from  vehicles,  steep 
cliffs,  and  other  hazards  as  well  as  to  prevent  conflicts  with  other  park  users. 

Many  urban  settings  define  a  DPA  with  an  enclosure  of  a  four-  (4)  foot  fence.  The  boundaries  of 
DPAs  will  be  identified  with  barriers  (shrubs,  fencing).  All  barriers  will  strive  to  be  aesthetically 
pleasing  using  landscape  features  such  as  shrubs  and  vines.  Type  of  barrier,  size  and  location  will 
be  determined  on  a  case-by-case  basis.  The  standard  to  be  tested  against  is  a  dogs  ability  to 
permeate  the  barrier. 

3.5  DPA  SURFACING 

RPD's  experience  and  research  of  DPAs  shows  that  grass  will  not  grow  in  heavily  used  DPAs. 
Therefore,  muddy  conditions  and  other  environmental  degradation  will  occur.  In  an  effort  to 
provide  the  highest  standards  possible  in  DPAs  RPD  will  only  consider  the  use  of  turf  in  unusual 
circumstances.  In  accordance  with  RPDs  turf  management  practices,  DPAs  with  turf  surfaces 
will  be  subject  to  closure  during  inclement  weather.  RPD  favors  the  use  of  alternate  materials 
such  as  sand,  gravel,  decomposed  granite  and  other  surface  materials  that  allow  for  regular  and 
appropriate  maintenance.  Combinations  of  materials  may  be  used. 

3.6  AMENITIES 

RPD  will  provide  at  a  minimum  the  following  amenities: 
Bag  dispensers 
Signs 
Bench(s) 
Surface  material 
Barriers 
Trash  cans 


6  SAN  FRANCISCO  RECREATION  &  PARK  DEPARTMENT 
DRAFT  DOG  POLICY 

RPD  will  work  closely  with  partners  and  the  dog  advisory  committee  to  identify  funding  sources 
for  additional  amenities  such  as  lighting,  water  fountain,  or  informational  kiosk. 

3.7        EXPLORATION  OF  OTHER/ADDITIONAL  OFF  LEASH  EXPERIENCES 

RPD  welcomes  the  opportunity  to  provide  several  different  outdoor  experiences  with  your  pet.  In 
an  effort  to  provide  a  more  widely  varied  natural  experience,  RPD  will  consider  initiating  off 
leash  use  areas  under  the  following  circumstances,  which  the  Advisory  Board  will  investigate: 


• 


Trail  Experience 

•  Parks  larger  than  35  acres  (see  attached  list) 

•  Users  must  be  able  to  access  the  facility  with  or  without  encountering  off  leash 
dogs 

•  Signage  that  designates  "Dogs  allowed  off  leash  on  these  trails",  and  "Dogs  not 
allowed  off  leash" 

•  Dogs  must  not  be  able  to  directly  access  prohibited  areas  such  as  Significant 
Natural  Resource  Area  (see  attached  list) 

•  Soft  barriers 

•  Trash  cans  are  available 

•  Bag  dispensers  are  available 

Additional  experiences  may  be  offered  after  extensive  review  with  RPD  and  the  Advisory  Board. 
In  order  to  implement  these  experiences  RPD  would  require  approval  by  the  Recreation  &  Park 
Commission. 

•     "Gold  Bone  Program"  to  be  explored  by  RPD  &  Advisory  Board 

•  The  advisory  committee  is  asked  to  identify  an  accepted  stringent  obedience 
training  program  that  can  be  endorsed  by  stakeholders 

•  RPD  and  the  Advisory  Board  will  identify  available  funding  in  order  to  provide  a 
granting  program  to  participants  in  the  designated  obedience  training  so  that  the 
program  can  be  fully  accessible 

•  Dogs  would  be  awarded  a  "gold  bone"  metal,  or  color-coded  collar  to  identify 
them  as  exceptionally  well  behaved  and  obedient. 

•  Upon  completing  a  rigorous  obedience  certification  program  dogs  would  be 
allowed  additional  park  privileges. 


3.8        PARTNERSHIPS 

DPAs  require  an  active  volunteer  or  partner  program  to  assist  with  monitoring  and  maintenance. 
An  identifiable  partner  is  required  for  new  and  existing  DPAs.  A  current  "Friends  of. . ."  group  is 
sufficient.  Partners  must  demonstrate  their  commitment,  organizational  skills  and  willingness  to 
support  and  promote  the  DPA  standards.

DRAFT  DOG  POLICY 


4.0  RULES  AND  RESPONSIBILITIES 

4. 1  MAINTENANCE  AND  MANAGEMENT  RESPONSIBILITIES 

While  RPD  has  jurisdiction  over  DPAs  on  RPD  property  and  will  contribute  to  both  the  capital 
start-up  and  operating  expenses,  the  success  of  any  DPA  is  based  on  the  ability  of  its  users  to 
help  establish,  fund,  operate,  maintain  and  monitor  each  DPA  site.  In  our  research  of  DPAs 
around  the  country,  most  off  leash  areas  require  direct  support  by  site  users,  local  residents, 
and/or  organized  groups  or  volunteers.  The  RPD  encourages  and  welcomes  partnerships  in  many 
forms.  RPD  is  moving  toward  MOU's  for  all  park  partners.  The  RPD  expects  the  DPA  to  simply 
be  one  of  the  many  partnerships  available  in  a  park,  perhaps  under  an  umbrella  group. 

4.2  DOG  PLAY  AREA  RULES 

Your  neighbors  and  the  Recreation  and  Park  Department  appreciate  responsible  dog  ownership. 

All  dogs  must  be  licensed  and  vaccinated  before  entering  the  DPA 

No  dog  that  is  less  than  4  months  old  shall  be  permitted  in  the  DPA 

Female  dogs  in  heat  are  not  allowed 

No  food  allowed  with  the  boundaries  of  the  DPA 

No  more  than  (3)  dogs  per  owner  are  allowed  in  the  DPA  at  any  one  time 

Professional  dog  trainers  may  not  use  a  DPA  for  the  conduct  of  their  business,  unless 

sponsored  by  RPD  or  by  obtaining  a  permit  from  RPD 

Animals  must  be  leashed  when  entering  and  exiting  the  DPA 

Owners  shall  be  in  possession  of  a  leash  for  each  dog  at  all  times  with  maximum  8 

foot  leash 

Dogs  must  be  under  control  of  their  owners  at  all  times 

Control  excessive  barking  and  noise 

Pick  up  and  dispose  of  dog  waste  in  a  proper  manner 

Aggressive  dogs  must  be  leashed  immediately 

Owners  are  to  fill  in  holes  dug  by  their  dogs  prior  to  leaving  the  DPA 

Dog  grooming  is  not  be  allowed  in  any  DPA 

4.3  RPD/PARTNER  RESPONSIBILITIES 

Partners  and  RPD  shall  share  the  responsibility  for  maintaining  and  monitoring  DPAs.  The 
following  are  general  guidelines  for  each. 

RPD 

•  Maintain  and  repair  surface  (subject  to  budgetary  constraints) 

•  Maintain  surrounding  landscape 

•  Repair  or  replace  fencing  and  other  basic  amenities

Partners  will  enter  into  a  MOU/permit  agreement  with  RPD  under  the  auspices  of  the  Advisory 
Committee.  (See  appendix)  Failure  to  meet  standards  and  responsibilities  set  forth  in  the  MOU 
agreement  will  subject  DPA  to  review  by  RPD. 


4.4        ADVISORY  COMMITTEE 

RPD  will  form  an  official  Dog  Advisory  Committee  with  balanced  representation  from  the  DPA 
community,  children's  groups,  other  park  users,  and  invested  government  agencies.  The  Dog 
Advisory  Committee  will  be  moderated  by  RPD  and  the  General  Manager  will  appoint  members. 
The  RPD  General  Manager  will  also  appoint  the  chairperson  for  the  Advisory  Committee.  The 
committee  will  consist  of  7  members  selected  from  citywide  organizations  promoting  park 
advocacy  such  as,  but  not  limited  to:

4.5  HOURS  OF  OPERATION 

DPAs  shall  be  open  7  days  per  week,  within  the  posted  and/or  legal  hours  for  any  RPD  park. 
Hours  of  lighted  facilities  shall  be  worked  out  with  effected  residents/neighborhood  and  civic 
associations.  RPD  reserves  the  right  to  restrict  any  DPA  operating  hours  as  needed  in  accordance 
with  neighborhood  input  as  well  as  maintenance  requirements. 

4.6  EVALUATION 

DPA  evaluations  shall  be  carried  out  one  (1)  year  after  a  DPA  is  first  sited,  established,  and/or 
significant  renovation  has  been  completed.  After  that,  DPAs  should  be  evaluated  every  three-  (3) 
years.  An  evaluation  should  be  held  in  the  interim  if  RPD  determines  that  conditions  warrant  it. 
Existing  DPAs  shall  be  evaluated  within  one  (1)  year  of  this  policy's  inception. 

DPA  evaluations  will  be  conducted  by  a  committee  comprised  of  representatives  from  RPD,  the 
Advisory  Committee,  the  neighborhood,  Animal  Care  &  Control  and  relevant  local  citizen 
associations.  The  evaluation  instrument  will  be  developed  with  the  Advisory  Committee  and 
RPD.  The  evaluations  should  include  utilization,  community  and  fiscal  impacts.  The  evaluation 
should  also  include  a  satisfaction  survey  of  users  and  neighbors  and  consider  the  number, 
severity,  and  resolution  of  complaints  and  issues  raised  during  the  evaluation  period. 

4.7  SIGNS/RULES 

The  intent  of  providing  signs  is  to  identify,  educate  and  provide  a  clear  and  consistent 
understanding  of  the  expectations  of  dog  owners  within  DPA's  and  other  parks  throughout  the 

city. 

The  RPD  shall  provide  and  install  signs  at  all  DPA's  that  outline  the  rules  and  regulations  for 
those  spaces.  When  appropriate,  directional  signs  will  also  be  installed  throughout  parks  that 


io  SAN  FRANCISCO  RECREATION  &  PARK  DEPARTMENT 
DRAFT  DOG  POLICY 

contain  DPA's.  In  addition,  RPD  will  install  informational  signs,  which  will  accompany  bag 
dispensers,  at  on-leash  sites  that  are  used  by  the  dog  walking  community. 

These  signs  which  outline  several  current  San  Francisco  laws  and  ordinances  also  contain 
information  that  has  proven  effective  in  managing  off-leash  facilities  in  other  cities. 

5.0       SIGN  FOR  ON-LEASH  PARK  SPACES  -  AS  REQUIRED 

(These  signs  will  accompany  bag  dispenser) 

Your  neighbors  and  the  Recreation  and  Park  Department

Don't  leave  your  dog  unattended

5.1  SIGN  FOR  OFF-LEASH  PARK  SPACES  (DPA'S) 

Language  for  DP  As  will  be  developed  with  advisory  committee.  Language  will  reflect 
simplified  rules  and  regulations. 

5.2  ENFORCEMENT 

Although  previous  enforcement  has  been  inconsistent,  RPD  intends  to  pursue  enforcement  of  all 
related  state  and  municipal  laws.  Enforcement  will  necessitate  a  multi-agency  effort  to  include 
SFPD,  ACC,  and  RPD.  RPD  strongly  believes  the  greatest  voice  for  following  established  rules 
and  policies  will  be  from  DPA  partners  and  users. 

Upon  adoption  of  this  policy,  a  period  of  ninety  (90)  days  for  extensive  public  education  and 
notice  will  precede  strict  enforcement. 

6.0      MISCELLANEOUS 


6.1        HOW  TO  PROPOSE  A  NEW  DPA  or  ALTERNATE  USE  AREA 


i  SAN  FRANCISCO  RECREATION  &  PARK  DEPARTMENT 
DRAFT  DOG  POLICY 


In  general,  users  and  neighbors,  and/or  a  park  partner  can  submit  a  written  request  regarding  the 
establishment  of  new  DP  As,  or  adding/repairing  amenities  at  existing  DP  As  to  RPD  (submit  to 
General  Manager).  The  RPD  will  evaluate  the  request  and  make  a  recommendation  to  the 
Advisory  Committee  within  60  days  of  receiving  the  request.  The  Advisory  Committee  will 
begin  public  process/negotiations.  Siting  a  DPA  shall  follow  the  accepted  community-wide 
planning  process,  which  includes  public  notification  and  opportunities  for  input  from  users  and 
neighbors,  RPD  and  relevant  civic  association  (s). 

6.2  FUNDING 

Prior  to  establishing  a  DPA  adequate  funding  must  be  identified  by  RPD,  Advisory  Committee 
and/or  community  partners.  RPD  has  the  primary  responsibility  for  providing  the  resources 
necessary  for  the  establishment,  maintenance  and  management  of  basic  DP  As. 

RPD  will  work  with  DPA  Partners,  The  Dog  Advisory  Committee  and  other  government 
agencies  to  identify  support  through  additional  city  monies,  grants,  private  and  corporate 
funding,  and  agency  partnerships. 

6.3  COMPLAINTS 

Complaints  and  concerns  arising  inside  the  boundaries  of  the  DPA  should  be  brought  to  the 
attention  of  the  RPD.  All  complaints  will  be  reported  to  the  Advisory  Committee  in  a  staff 
report.  If  after  60  days  the  complaint  has  not  been  resolved  satisfactorily,  the  Advisory 
Committee  and  the  complainant  will  meet  with  the  appropriate  RPD  personnel  to  mediate  the 
situation  to  resolution. 

6.4  PROFESSIONAL  DOG  WALKERS 

RPD  requires  an  RPD  Permit  and  Animal  Care  &  Control  agreement  form.  Please  see  attached 
"Dog  Walker  Agreement  Form"  provided  by  San  Francisco  Animal  Care  &  Control  Department. 
Dog  Walkers  are  required  to  have  a  maximum  8-foot  leash  in  their  possession  for  each  dog. 
Animal  Care  and  Control  recommends  that  professional  dog  walkers  not  have  more  than  six  (6) 
dogs  in  their  control  at  any  one  time.  RPD  requires  no  more  than  six  (6)  dogs  per  person  be  off 
leash  at  any  one  time  in  a  DPA. 

6.5  PUBLIC  INFORMATION 

RPD  will  provide  outreach  information  by  producing  signage  and  brochures  that  shall  be 
distributed  through  a  number  of  means  including  veterinary  offices,  SFSPCA,  pet  stores  and 
RPD  facilities,  as  well  as  the  RPD  WEB  page  which  will  link  to  other  support  organizations. 

All  RPD  staffed  facilities  will  provide  information  on  the  closest  available  official  DPA  (on  or 
off-leash).

(ii)  Should  the  hearing  officer  fmd  the  dog  to  be  vicious  and  dangerous,  the  hearing  officer  shall  order  the  dog  be 
registered  pursuant  to  Section  42.2,  and  that  the  dog  be  spayed  or  neutered.  The  hearing  officer  may,  in  addition,  order 
the  dog  and  the  owner,  keeper  and  any  person  in  control  of  the  dog  attend  and  complete  a  basic  obedience  course  under 
an  approved  and  recognized  obedience  trainer  or  dog-training  organization. 

(iii)  In  the  event  the  hearing  officer  concludes  that  the  dog  is  vicious  and  dangerous  and  that  the  health,  safety  and 
welfare  of  the  community  is  not  adequately  addressed  by  the  requirements  provided  in  Section  42.3(c)(ii),  the  hearing 
officer  may  order  the  dog  destroyed. 

(iv)     The  decision  of  the  hearing  officer  is  final.  (Added  by  Ord.  408-87,  App.  10/9/87)

DIRECTOR  ANNOUNCEMENT  SAN  FRANCISCO 

CALIFORNIA  94103 

TO:      DOG  WALKING  SERVICES  IN  SAN  FRANCISCO  F/Suistit^^ 

DATE  August  1999  (originally  released  1 1/3/98)  tod  uis)  554-9704 

Dog  Walkers  provide  a  valuable  service  to  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco.  People  rely  on 
dog  walkers  to  provide  professional,  conscientious  dog  care  while  they  are  at  work.  In  order  for 
these  services  to  meet  the  needs  of  the  public  and  provide  safety  and  companionship  to  the  dogs, 
San  Francisco  Animal  Care  and  Control  has  developed  a  list  of  guidelines,  which  we  strongly 
recommend  all  dog  walkers  adhere  to. 

We  have  received  an  increasing  number  of  complaints  about  dog  walking  services  over  the  last 
year.  The  following  is  a  list  of  complaints  that  our  department  has  compiled  to  help  you 
understand  the  importance  of  establishing  standards  by  which  dog  walking  services  should 
operate.   These  complaints  have  included: 

♦  dogs  being  lost  by  walkers 

♦  dogs  not  wearing  current  license  or  any  identification 

♦  dogs  being  verbally  and  physically  abused  by  walkers 

♦  dogs  in  poorly  ventilated  vehicles  without  safe  enclosures 

♦  dogs  contracting  contagious  diseases 

♦  dog  walkers  failing  to  pick  up  feces 

After  reviewing  these  complaints,  we  have  developed  the  following  guidelines  for  dog  walkers: 

1 .  Each  walker  must  have  a  maximum  number  of  six  dogs  per  walk. 

2.  Each  dog  must  wear  a  current  dog  license  and  identification. 

3 .  Each  dog  must  have  verification  of  current  vaccinations. 

4.  Walker  must  clean  up  feces  left  by  dogs  and  carry  a  container  for  clean-up  at  all  times. 

5.  Walker  must  have  one  leash  present  for  each  dog  in  the  group,  (dogs  must  be  on  leash 
except  when  in  "designated"  off-leash  exercise  areas). 

6.  Dogs  must  be  transported  in  safe,  well-ventilated  vehicles  in  a  manner  to  prevent  injury 
or  overheating. 

7.  Dogs  must  be  safely  and  properly  restrained  in  open  vehicles  to  prevent  injury. 

8.  Walkers  must  use  methods  of  handling  that  are  humane  and  in  compliance  with 
state  and  local  laws.

PARENT  ADVOCATES  FOR  YOUTH 
How  do  off-leash  dogs  in  SF  parks  impact  children  and  families? 


Kids  or  Dogs:    Who's  the  priority? 

Many  parents  feel  that  it's  the  dogs  who  have  priority  in  our  porks.  It  shouldn't  be  this  way.   With  leash  laws 

on  the  books,  dog  owners  should  respect  the  law  that  protects  the  public  safety.    The  parents' 

recommendations  to  the  SF  Rec  and  Park  Department  and  City  Hall  (Rec  and  Park  can't  do  it  alone)  are  based 

on  city-wide  surveys  of  thirty-two  parks  throughout  the  City.  We  found  that  off-leash  dog  use  of  the  parks 

has  a  significant  negative  impact  on  how  families  are  able  to  enjoy  our  parks. 

OUR  FINDINGS: 

•  The  leash  law  is  ignored  in  the  parks. 

•  The  "pooper  scooper"  law  is  not  enforced. 

•  Inadequate  signage: 

o     Posting  on  asphalt,  easily  missed. 

o     Often,  no  signs  posted. 

c     No  signs  regarding  where  off-leash  areas  can  be  found  on  site  or  elsewhere  in  the  city. 

•  Rec  a  Park  gardening  and  program  staff  are  often  harassed,  or  worse,  by  uncooperative  dog  owners 
or  uncontrolled  dogs. 

•  Professional  dog  walkers  pose  a  particular  threat  when  they  bring  many  dogs  into  the  park  at  the 
same  time. 

•  Most  fields  and  green  spaces  suffer  ruts  from  digging  dogs  and  worn  turf  by  over  use. 

•  Many  parks  are  not  only  impacted  by  feces,  but  by  urination  of  green  space  making  picnicking 
undesirable  and  unpleasant. 

•  Dog  owners  need  to  be  educated  about  children. 
RECOMMENDATIONS  TO  REC  4  PARK: 

1.  Off-leash  areas  should  be  separate  and  contained. 

2.  Acknowledge  that  not  all  parks  are  appropriate  for  off-leash  dog  use. 

3.  Improve  signage 

4.  Leash  laws 

5.  Where  designated  off-leash  dog  areas  are  located. 

6.  Invest  in  amenities  to  make  current  designated  off-leash  dog  areas  more  hospitable  dogs  and  their 
owners. 

7.  A  decisive  and  enforceable  leash  law/"pooper  scooper"  plan. 
RECOMMENDATIONS  TO  CITY  HALL: 

A.  Support  enforcement  of  the  current  leash  law. 

B.  Support  Rec  and  Park  by  expanding  Animal  Control. 

C.  Expand  Animal  Control  enforcement  officers. 

D.  Transfer  dog  licensing  from  the  Tax  Collector  to  Animal  Control  so  they  can  expand  licensing  in  the 
neighborhoods. 

E.  Improve  the  Health  Department's  reporting  procedure  for  dog  bites  so  people  know  how  to  report 
bites. 

ATTENTION  DOG  OWNERS! 

>  Even  friendly  dogs  can  be  scary  to  a  small  child. 

>  Even  people  who  love  dogs  may  not  appreciate  their  time  spent  in  the  park  dodging  playful  pups. 

>  It  should  be  a  parent's  choice  to  allow  a  child  to  interact  with  your  dog,  not  the  dog's  choice. 

>  It's  never  OK  to  allow  your  dog  in  a  children's  playground. 

>  Digging  in  an  athletic  field  makes  the  field  unsafe  and  drives  up  maintenance  costs. 

>  Did  you  know  that  there  was  a  reported  dog  bite  for  each  day  of  the  year  last  year?

Introduction 

Controversy  and  conflict  over  dogs  in  neighborhood  parks  is  springing  up  all  over  San 
Francisco.  An  advisory  dogs-ofF-leash  task  force  to  the  Recreation  and  Parks  Committee 
of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  the  City  and  County  of  San  Francisco  has  been  created  to 
address  the  issues  of  off-leash  dogs  in  San  Francisco's  parks.  They  have  been  meeting  and 
produced  a  report  that  evaluates  the  18  current  off-leash  areas  in  the  SF  city  parks.   The 
report  makes  recommendations  about  the  need  for  and  locations  of  more  off-leash  areas. 
lr  recommends  20  new  sites  for  off-leash  areas.  This  process  began  with  the  assumption 
that  more  off-leash  areas  were  needed,  but  did  not  necessarily  address  the  general  conflict 
over  competing  land  uses  in  our  city's  open  space.  These  remaining  issues  and 
recommendations  have  been  very  controversial  within  the  city  and  many  issues  still  need  to 
be  addressed.  Additionally  a  city-wide  dog-owners-group,  (SF  DOG),  has  formed  to 
promote  and  advocate  off-leash  recreation  for  their  animals.  The  conflict  over  land  use  in 
this  city  with  limited  space  is  still  going  on.  and  we  need  to  elevate  the  discussion  beyond 
the  emotional  battle  of  being  "pro-dog"  or  "anti-dog". 

Today  we  need  to  maintain  the  conversation  about  what  is  best  for  San  Francisco's  parks 
and  not  only  single  stakeholder  groups.  This  means  that  we  need  to  ask  ourselves  tough 
questions:  like  how  is  our  system  handling  these  competing  needs?  How  can  we  increase 
funding  to  improve  enforcement,  education,  licensing  and  maintenance?  What  can  we  do 
*bout  existing  non-compliance  to  leash  laws?  Are  mixed-use  hourly  schedules  workable? 
Are  fenced-in  dog  parks  a  good  compromise? 

Discussion  Issues 

•  Education 

•  Funding/Revenue  for  enforcement  and  amenities  , 

•  Land  use  and  planning  criteria 

•  Enforcement 

•  Decision-making,  process  and  community  input 

•  Where  do  dog  issues  fit  into  the  larger  park  improvement  efforts?

Examples  of  successful  strategies 

Brooks  Park,  San  Francisco 

Community  members  are  beneficing  from  the  careful  attention  of  responsible  dog  owners 
who  have  been  charged  with  the  task  of  covering  any  new  graffiti  they  spot  on  their  daily 
walks.  This  way  the  dog  owners  are  seen  as  contributing  to  their  parks  and  providing  good 
examples  to  errant  dog  owners. 

New  York 

NYC  has  a  new  goal  to  increase  compliance  with  leash  laws  to  protect  people,  park  lawns, 

natural  areas  and  other  dogs. 

•  Raised  fines  for  enforcement  of  rules 

•  Created  databases  to  track  repeat  offenders 

•  Increases  enforcement 

•  Excludes  dogs  from  sensitive  natural  areas 

•  Produced  effective  signage  and  brochures 

•  Trained  neighbors  to  enforce  rules 

•  Big  campaign  and  celebration  of  the  20th  anniversary  of  the  pooper  scooper  law  with  a 
public  education  campaign  "Love  your  pet,  love  your  park"  that  promotes  responsible 
dog  owners  use  of  the  parks  that  include  educational  and  informational  cards 

•  Established  dog-free  zones  and  fenced  off-leash  dog  runs  and  dogs  are  not  allowed 
off-leash  except  in  these  fenced  areas 

•  Use  of  pea  gravel  in  fenced  in  dog  areas 

•  Requires  that  all  dogs  be  licensed  and  violators  be  fined 

San  Francisco 

Friends  of  Recreation  and  Parks  provides  special  water  fountains  for  dogs.  This  is  a  good 
alternative  to  owners  allowing  their  dogs  to  drink  out  of  human  water  fountains.  A  new 
doy  fountain  helps  prevent  the  spread  of  animal  diseases,  and  this  has  also  been  effective  in 
Memorial  Park  in  Houston  Texas. 

Marin  County 

Marin  has  five  fenced  dog  parks;  and  in  San  Raphael    Field  of  Dogs,  a  non-profit,  has 
organized  to  build  a  1/4  acre  fenced  dog  park  on  land  donated  by  the  city.  The  park  is 
run  and  maintained  by  the  non-profit,  and  charges  a  $500/year  membership  fee,  and  they 
hold  auctions,  benefit  dinners  and  produce  a  newsletter  for  their  dog  owners'  community. 
They  report  that  it  is  safe  place  to  recreate  with  their  dogs  off-leash.  Rick  Johnson  from 
the  Marin  Humane  Society  says  that  the  major  benefits  of  this  meeting  place  are  that  it 
helps  educate  people  about  responsible  pet  ownership,  veterinary  health  issues,  and  helps 
the  community  come  together.

in  Parks 

Controversy  and  conflict  over  dogs  in  neighborhood  parks  is  springing  up  all  over  San 
Francisco.   While  individual  park  groups  will  have  to  work  to  find  solutions  that  are  right 
for  their  specific  park,  we've  provided  below  a  list  of  amenities  that  can  potentially  help 
neighborhoods  successfully  resolve  their  dog  issues.  In  the  long  run,  neighborhoods  that 
take  pro-active  approaches  to  user-conflicts  will  find  that  their  park  will  benefit  from  the 
increased  attention  and  the  explicit  agreements  that  neighbors  make. 

Amenities: 

1 .  Posts  with  signage  and  plastic  dog  pick-up  bags:  Posting  the  rules  and  laws  clearly,  and 
providing  the  physical  tools  to  clean  up  dog  poop  not  only  gives  owners  the 
information  and  support  to  behave  respectfully,  but  it  provides  a  way  for  dog-owners 
to  educate  their  less-responsible  peers  with  a  simple  point  towards  the  dog-station. 

2.  Dog  bowls  for  public  water  fountains:  rDog-leveI  bowls  attached  to  water  fountains.   So 
far,  they  need  a  special  plumbing  arrangement  to  be  installed,  but  hopefully,  more 
adaptable  models  will  soon  be  found  and  utilized. 

3.  Signage,  clearly  designating  off-leash  areas:  In  addition  to  posts  with  doggie  bags,  eye- 
caching,  easily-read  signage  should  be  designed  and  posted,  stating  all  the  rules  and 
laws  that  pertain  to  dogs  in  San  Francisco's  parks. 

4.  Instituting  clean-up  days  for  dog-people:  S.F.  DOG,  and  other  dog-advocacy  groups 
have  already  started  doing  regular  clean-up  days  to  pick  up  and  restore  their 
neighborhood  parks.    Many  areas  that  are  regularly  used  by  dogs  need  a  long-term 
agreement  with  the  dog-owners  to  take  some  extra  responsibility  to  clean  up.   These 
work  parties  would  best  be  arranged  and  initiated  by  the  dog-owners  themselves. 

5.  More  designated,  fenced  dog  runs,  where  appropriate:  San  Francisco's  Recreation  and 
Park  Department  needs  to  provide  several  more  official  dog  runs,  similar  to  the  new 
dog  run  being  created  at  St.  Mary's  Park.   Fenced,  so  dogs  can  run  off-leash,  these 
areas  would  be  similar  to  the  highly  successful  dog  runs  now  being  utilized  in  New 
York  City. 

6.  Involving  the  SPCA  and  the  city  pound  in  an  education  campaign:  Dog  owners  need 
ongoing  detailed  education  on  rules  and  regulations  about  dogs  in  parks.    Owners  also 
need  updated  information  about  designated  off-leash  areas  and  clean-up  days. 
Education  from  peers  who  understand  one  another's  perspective  is  always  most 
effective,  therefore,  the  SPCA.  the  city's  pound,  and  other  dog-advocacy  groups 
should  launch  a  joint  educational  campaign  that  gets  results  with  handbills,  posters  and 
other  media. 

7.  Lighting  for  dog  areas  (esp.  winter/fall):  Many  dog  owners  don't  use  the  designated 
dog  runs  at  night  in  the  winter  and  fall,  because  they  are  not  lit  and  users  do  not  feel 
safe.    DifFerent  parks  would  have  vastly  different  lighting  needs,  but  many  dog  areas 
could  use  additional  lighting  near  their  designated  dog  runs  to  encourage  users  to  stay 
in  the  areas  allocated  for  them. 


8.  Empowering  Recreation  and  Park  Patrol,  as  well  as  the  SFPD,  to  cite  Dog  owners  who 
do  not  respect  the  community's  resources  need  to  be  held  responsible  for  their  anions. 
With  signage,  educational  campaigns  and  dog-amenities,  there  also  comes  an  increased 
responsibility  that  dog-owners  need  to  assume.    One  way  to  enforce  community 
standards  is  to  encourage  and  empower  the  Park  Patrol  and  the  SFPD  to  cite  violators. 

9.  Talking  to  people  from  communities  with  success  stories  for  dealing  with  dogs: 
Berkeley,  New  York,  San  Jose.  Many  communities  and  parks  departments  will  have 
success  stories  for  us,  if  we  ask  the  right  people. 

The  topic  of  dogs  in  parks  is  an  emotional  one,  and  we  suggest  that  you  utilize  a 
community  facilitation  service  like  Community  Boards  (552-1250)  to  keep  discussions 
friendly  and  productive.   Many  of  our  member  groups  have  been  relieved  to  have  their 
skills  at  contentious  neighborhood  meetings.  You  should  also  invite  groups  like  the 
Neighborhood  Parks  Council  and  Coleman  Advocates  for  a  city-wide  perspective,  as  well 
as  representatives  from  the  Recreation  and  Park  Department  and  the  Police  Department's 
Operation  Park  Patrol  for  practical  and  legal  questions.
