In the canton of Ticino the following applies – our summary of the cantonal rule is available in German: «Die Wohnsitzgemeinde trägt dich als Halter in die Hundedatenbank ein. Bei der Registrierung musst du nachweisen, dass du den Grundkurs besucht hast (sofern er für dich gilt, siehe «Kurspflicht») und eine Haftpflichtversicherung abgeschlossen hast. Fehlt ein Nachweis, setzt die Gemeinde eine Frist: höchstens sechs Monate für den Kurs, höchstens drei Monate für die Versicherung. Registriert wirst du aber sofort, auch wenn ein Nachweis noch fehlt. Die Gemeinden kontrollieren zudem, ob die Hunde in ihrem Gebiet korrekt gekennzeichnet sind.» (source: https://m3.ti.ch/CAN/RLeggi/public/index.php/raccolta-leggi/legge/num/869, as of September 2026).
