I have really mixed feelings about this--tethering my dog outside while I drive down to the school 2.5 miles away to pick up the kid and then immediately return seems sensible--she gets outside, does her business, can roam the entire front yard and yet is calm. She's not inclined to try to dig under any fences, as she is when left in the back yard for more than 10 seconds. It drives me crazy when these laws are driven by one or two people because of what their kid did. I'm open to a different viewpoint, however.
Irving council OKs ban on unattended, tethered dogs
Owners of unattended, chained pets to receive Class C misdemeanors

The Irving City Council unanimously approved an ordinance Thursday night that bans tethering unattended dogs any time, any place. The new city law is believed to be the first of its kind in North Texas.
Irving's ordinance goes beyond a state law that went into effect in September that limits the time dog owners can tether their pets to between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m.
"We've chosen as a community to make ours a little stricter," said Fred Sanderson, Irving's animal services manager.
Mr. Sanderson said the law is aligned with a growing national movement of dog lovers and lawmakers who believe tethering dogs can make them more aggressive.
Dale and Kristi McKenzie, whose 8-year-old son, Shane, was attacked by a tethered dog in March, were among a dozen residents who supported the ordinance. Shane has undergone eight surgeries to repair his carotid artery after a tethered Akita mix jumped him when he went into its yard to retrieve a basketball.

I certainly understand your concerns, but this law was passed because it is more than just a few attacks of chained dogs on children. Texas, in fact, is ranked #1 in chained dog attacks, as compiled by the Center of Disease Control in a study from 2000-current.
Dogs break chains all the time, even if they are on a chain for 10 seconds. It happens.
We recently passed a dog-chaining ban in Austin, Texas and are seeing great results. That said, our animal control officers are not going to drive around looking for dogs on chains. They are going to respond to calls wherein someone knows that a dog lives on a chain 24/7. I imagine Irving will fall into the same category. Depending on your relationship with your neighbors, chances are you can still chain your dog for that short time without repercussions.
But please know that dogs break chains all the time. You may have to find a way to keep the dog from digging out of the fenced area. Visit the website address, http://www.chainfreeaustin.org/escape_issues.htm, for helpful hints.
Good luck and please know that this law is going to help a lot of dogs who live chained up 24/7, living a life sentence with no parole...until now! :)
Hey, Austin visitor, thanks for coming by and clarifying what's been going on. We have a busybody in our neighborhood who loves to call the building inspector, cops or anyone else whenever he suspects anyone of anything. When I read about this law, I thought of him. Thanks again and come back anytime!
