It is against the law in Hawaii to allow your dog to run free on public streets and sidewalks.
When taking your dog off your property, you are required to have it on a leash. But more importantly, you must maintain control of your dog at all times.
You are not allowed to:
- Let your dog trespass onto someone else’s property.
- Allow it to get too close to another dog.
- Allow it to attack another dog.
- Walk more dogs than you can control.
Here are some helpful rules:
Rule #1: One dog at a time.
Rule #2: Both hands on leash, close to the dog’s neck or body.
Rule #3: Keep dog away from other dogs.
Rule #4: Keep dog off private property.
If you or your dog has been seriously injured because of someone walking their dog in violation of one or more of these rules, call SHIM & CHANG. It doesn’t cost you to consult with us.
We are committed to not only seeking fair recoveries for our clients, but to also keeping our community safe from irresponsible people.
The Estate of Mark Tokuyama v. City and County of Honolulu Jury awarded $953,114.57, which at the time was the highest award ever for a drowning case.
