The rule
The State Security Act contains no general leash requirement. It only requires dogs to be kept away from public children's playgrounds unless they wear a suitable muzzle and are led on a leash (§ 6). In an individual case, the authority can order an animal owner to take measures to avoid dangers or unreasonable nuisance (§ 5 Abs. 1).
