Stop & Scoop!

Be a responsible pet owner - when they poop, you scoop. The fine for failing to pick up after your pet is $250. For more information, visit the Animal Bylaw webpage

Dog Parks & Off-leash  Areas

• Dogs are allowed off-leash within the designated area but must be on-leash when entering/exiting. For Lacombe Lake dog park, this includes when crossing the path to the lake.
• Dogs must be on-leash if a regularly organized sporting activity is taking place within a designated off-leash area.
• Owners must always maintain complete control of their pet, which includes keeping them within sight and verbal command range.

City-Wide

• The City of St. Albert is on-leash unless otherwise posted. Dog-walkers must carry a leash at all times. Leashes must be used on or within one metre of trails in all areas, including in off-leash areas.
• Owners must pick up waste immediately and always carry a means of picking up after their dog(s). Pet waste can carry worms and other parasites, which makes it dangerous to the health of kids and other dogs.
• Dogs must wear a current dog license tag.
• Dogs are not allowed in playground areas for the safety of children.
