  Does anyone know if there are regulations regarding keeping dogs on leashes in town trails? I had two dogs jump all over me in trails today because someone couldn't control their unleashed dogs. I'm scratched and have hives now....I'm extremely allergic (like asthma attack style)....I don't want to have to resort to carrying mace for puppies. Anyone? Help!

  Ok, my final post on this subject. First, I thank all of you who provided concern and ideas of how to stay safe while enjoying life outdoors going forward. Second, to those of you who have expressed my concerns are ridiculous I challenge you to do some research about the severity of allergies, especially when tied to asthma, as in my case https://www.aafa.org/display.cfm?id=8&sub=16. I spoke with the MPD and found out the following : There IS a leash law in town. Dogs MUST be leashed on town property and conservation land. Should anyone need to protect themselves they may do so however they see fit, BUT, if a dog is maced or deterred in a physical way there will be an investigation to follow (makes perfect sense). Should this happen to me again I absolutely, positively will do all I can to keep myself AND the animal safe but I will not hesitate to file an immediate complaint. Thanks again, see you on the trails!
