In the United States, the answer to this question varies depending on the city and state. For instance, in Pittsburgh, PA, a dog must be kept no longer than 15 minutes outside on a 6-foot leash. However, in some areas, dogs may be kept chained outside all year as long as they have access to shelter. Check your local authorities for the answer to this question in your city.

In general, it is a very bad idea to keep a pup tied up outside for long periods of time, even with access to a doghouse. Confining a canine in this manner can change its behavior in a negative fashion, making it aggressive and hard to handle. The only breeds that seem to tolerate these conditions without ill effects are Siberian huskies, Malamutes, and sled dog mixes.

Do service dog have leashed?

Under federal law a service dog generally must be leashed in a place of public accommodation (where dogs are not normally allowed) unless being leashed interferes with the work or a task that the dog needs to do, then they may be under alternate forms of control during that time. In places where dogs are allowed the local leash laws apply unless, again, the dog needs to be unleashed to perform work or a task for its disabled handler and then can be under alternate forms of control for the time needed to do that work or tasks.
