The state does not have leash laws. However, many counties do require that dogs outside the confines of their owner's property be leashed. For example Montgomery, Calvert and Hartford Counties. Often the term "at large" is used in legal jargon for a dog walking around off leash (even when the owner is nearby). Check local county and city laws for details in your area.

Any other animal (i.e., cat or livestock animal) is at large if it is outside the owner's premises and not leashed or immediately responsive to verbal or non-verbal direction.
The common area of a homeowner's association, condominium or cooperative is not the owner's premises.
