The Suffern Police Department is reminding residents to keep their dogs on a leash whenever they are off their owner’s property, citing an increase in complaints involving unleashed and aggressive dogs.

Police said they have recently seen a rise in dog-related complaints and are urging pet owners to follow local leash laws to help protect both the public and other dogs.

Under local regulations, dogs must remain leashed any time they are off their owner’s property. The department said complying with the law helps create a safer environment for residents, visitors, and pets alike.

The department is encouraging all dog owners to be responsible by following the leash requirements so everyone can safely enjoy the village’s parks, sidewalks, and other outdoor spaces.
