Non pet owners should not walk, bike or run in off leash areas unless they are tolerant of dogs.

Public education

Off leash parks should be separated from bike riding paths

Improved off-leash areas that are dedicated to dogs. Improved public education.

Education in various forms to reach both.

Very difficult to express thoughts in only 140 characters

More dedicated off-leash space only in all communities (esp. new developments) to prevent overuse in some parks. Mixed use is difficult.

Create a testing program for dogs that if passed would allow them to be off leash anywhere in the city giving people an option.

In public spaces - all animals should be on a leash unless it is a designated off leash area.

Pet owners need to be responsible. in 100% control of their dog at all times.

More education and resources on what a respectful and well trained pet that's able to positively enjoy our awesome public spaces looks like.

Time limits e.g., off-leash early in the morning and late in the evening.

How responsible owners are based on animal welfare and safety, while complying with relevant by laws. Not numbers criteria except breeders

Based upon space, and mandatory licenses and up to date wellness appointments to ensure pack health

No limits but address issues that arise ie barking, neighbour disturbance etc. Some people can manage many and some can’t manage two.

Dog Walkers should not be allowed to have 15 dogs off leash.

The space of the household and yard must be considered. A cap must be in place to avoid homes with multiple animals (many have >10 dogs).

Very hard to create guidelines. Some cannot handle one while others have many and they all flourish. It is not about the number of dogs

No household limit as long as not a nuisance to others; but feel there s/be restrictions on how many dogs walked off-leash by one person

No more than 3 is still ideal. Any more than that most individuals can't handle walking alone and they become a further nuisance .

The City of Airdrie has had a 3 dog limit for a number of years now. We have basically eliminated the neighbor disputes with this limit

I don't feel guildelines should be established to limit the number of dogs in a household. Why are you not limiting the number of cats?

The households capability to take care of their dogs.

A cap based on the average number of pets bred and fostered from a survey. Temporary animals like a litter of puppies under age don't count.

How responsible owners are regarding animal welfare, and respect for other by laws rather than based on numbers.

Look at space and ability to care for the cats. I would recommend no more than 4, as anything higher is very difficult to manage responsibyl

Number not as important as management. If they are indoors, licensed and cared for that is less of an issue than 1 cat roaming loose

No household limit as long as they're indoors (unless on harness/leash) and not a nuisance to others

no more than 3. I'd say combine this overall ownership to no more than 3 animals ie 1 dog 1 cat 1 bird

We also have a limit of 3 cats per household but this is relatively new so we are still working with people who were grandfathered in

Should not be limiting any number of pets owned cat or dog. It is responsible pet ownership that you need to promote not limit the numbers

Same as dogs. Temporary (litters) under age don't count.

Animal welfare standards given the potential for hoarding. 3+ cats should be discouraged.

Same as above - not the city's business if a responsible adult wants several cats in their care

If a person is able to afford to vet, licence and properly care for their pets I don't think there is a need to put a limit

I have no idea although excessive numbers can be a health hazard.

Backyard breeders should not be allowed. Irresponsible owners.

Previous convinctions such as animal abuse or neglect. Ability to provide care and proper environment is key

About management not numbers. People who breed or compete they will have young dogs in training, adult dogs competing and retired dogs

As long as the animals and property are cared for, licensed, then no max.

We need a restriction on the number of pets per household to avoid hoarding behaviour from forming.

foster homes, breeders, doggie daycares

Only if previous/known concerns with hoarding or abuse

There should be a temporary consideration for animals that give birth until those animals can be rehomed.

Responsible ethical breeders should not be limited but they cannot be backyard breeders. No limit

There should not be restrictions as long as the home, animals, yard and people are responsible and keep a clean safe place for all.

I think the rule should apply to everyone and perhaps some kind of "license" or permit extended to foster homes or breeders.

Rental housing for families with dogs and cats is scarce, especially for lower-income households.
