Neighborly Dog Ownership
We understand that some residents think that their pet is welltrained and does not need to be leashed, and they ignore the rules regarding leashes, believing they do not apply to their well-trained pet. However, many people are afraid of dogs, whether or not they are well-behaved. In addition, the City of Scottsdale has the power to cite a citizen for not having their dog on a leash, and has done so in Grayhawk. Please remember that it is against the law in Scottsdale and Maricopa County to have a dog off-leash (at large) in public. The Grayhawk Community Association is regularly made aware of unpleasant altercations between residents regarding this issue. While we understand the desire to let a dog run off-leash, it is more important to follow the laws and keep the peace with neighbors. Owners are responsible for bites that may occur under any circumstances, to include dogs escaping from the yard. Please be considerate by keeping your dog leashed when you are walking your dog or using any of the greenbelts found throughout the community. Also, please be aware that homeowners are responsible for actions of their guests and/or tenants. A guest is considered an individual who is at Grayhawk at the invitation of a resident and is using the association common areas or amenities. If a homeowner’s guest or tenant violates the Grayhawk CC&Rs or community rules, or damages community property, the homeowners can and will be held responsible for their guest’s or tenant’s actions.
