Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Are there any etiquette rules during walking hours?
A. It is good manners to avoid loud cries early in the morning (5-7 a.m.) and late at night (after 10 p.m.). In the summer, the heat during the day can burn your paws, so early morning or late evening is recommended.
Q. Can you walk without a leash?
A. In many areas of Japan, walking unleashed in public places is prohibited by ordinance. Dogs must be kept on a leash at all times except at dog parks and private property.
Q. What are the etiquette for disposing of poop?
A. Japanese etiquette is to always take something home with you. Do not throw it away in the park's trash can (take it home). It is recommended that you flush your urine with the water you brought with you.
Q. Dog run rules
A. License tag, rabies vaccine, and combination vaccine certificate must be displayed. Many facilities do not allow female dogs in heat to enter. It is the responsibility of the owner to keep an eye on the dogs and stop them in the event of a fight.
Q. If you receive a complaint from your neighbor
A. First, I apologized and explained the countermeasures (changed walking time, strengthened discipline, sound reduction measures). Repeated complaints may be reported to the public health center or management company. Early response is important.
