    Leash laws in other countries than US

    I know in most places in the U.S. there are leaswh laws in effect for parks and other public and open spaces, and I was wondering what the leash laws were in other countries, especially as they relate to parks and other open spaces.

    None here, in parks and open spaces, unless specifically signposted (which I have seen but only rarely).  I can take my dog to any park and allow him off-lead.  

    Farmers and gamekeepers are allowed to shoot any dog bothering livestock, but the majority is kept on private land anyway.

    I'm in the US and we have quite a few parks, not just dog-parks, where dogs who are "under the owner's control" are allowed off-leash.

     I've never been to any place in Canada that allow dogs off leash within city limits.  Unless its a dog park.
