The restraint must be at least six feet long and can\u2019t keep the dog from moving around, eating, drinking, getting shade, staying dry, or reaching shelter.<\/p>\n<p>Owners also cannot use a choke collar or pinch collar to restrain a dog outside or at any time during extreme weather.<\/p>\n<p>Advocates say neglect often starts with how a dog is tied up, so the rules help stop abuse where it starts.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/tucsonmovingreport.com\/?p=2225\">6 suspects indicted in violent Chandler home break-in<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the hottest major city in the country, Phoenix has a responsibility to ensure animals are not left in conditions that put their health and safety at risk,\u201d Phoenix Councilwoman Laura Pastor said in an emailed statement.<\/p>\n<p>The revised rule is aimed at stopping people from leaving dogs tied up for long stretches of time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese updates give officers clearer tools to intervene before a dog ends up in crisis.
