Dog Etiquette and Ordinances 
It's a dog owner's responsibility to pick up and properly dispose of dog poop (town ordinance 40-9C). Please don't leave it on your neighbor’s yard. There’s a $25 fine for the 1st instance, $50 for the 2nd and $75 for every one after that. Also, poop in plastic bags must be thrown in your trash bin. It can't go in a recycling container. Other dog codes include keeping your dog on a leash and howling/barking (town ordinance). Learn more about the town’s dog rules; visit the town website and search ‘dogs’.
