A. It is unlawful for an owner of a dangerous dog to permit the dog to be outside the proper enclosure unless the dog is muzzled and under physical restraint of a responsible person. The muzzle shall be made and worn in a manner that will not cause injury to the dog or interfere with its vision, panting, or respiration but shall prevent it from biting any person or animal.

B. It is unlawful for an owner of a potentially dangerous dog to (1) permit the dog to be outdoors on the owner’s premises unless the dog is contained by a secure fence or under physical restraint; or (2) permit the dog to leave the owner’s premises unless the dog is securely muzzled and under physical restraint. The muzzle shall be made and worn in a manner that will not cause injury to the dog or interfere with its vision, respiration or panting but shall prevent it from biting any person or animal.

C. The muzzle requirement described in subsection B of this section shall apply only to a dog declared to be potentially dangerous under Section 6.08.010(B)(1), or declared to be potentially dangerous under Section 6.08.010(B)(2) if there was any bite on a human or a bite on a domestic animal that resulted in severe injury.
