Pet owners are responsible for the actions of their pets. Please demonstrate respect and courtesy by adhering to the following rules:

Barking that is audible to other property owners is considered a nuisance to neighbors and a violation of city ordinance and Palomar Hills deed restrictions.
Do not leave your dog outside or on a porch or deck unattended during the day or at night. Some dogs bark so loudly that even when confined inside the residence, the barking can be heard by neighbors. If your dog is barking, please address the issue immediately.

Show respect for your neighbors and their property when walking your dog.
The Master Documents states, "Dogs which are household pets shall at all times whenever outside a unit be confined on a leash held by a responsible person." Keeping your dog on a leash is a matter of courtesy, safety, and compliance with LFUCG ordinance and Palomar Hills restrictions.

Please do not allow your dog to dig or play in the mulch around street trees and planting beds belonging to others. While long leashes are great, they also allow dogs to run onto neighbor's properties and damage or destroy work the homeowners have done to maintain and improve their lawns and landscaping. Parents, set the proper example by teaching your children the responsibilities involved in walking the family pet.

Clean up after your pet
Responsible pet owners and good neighbors carry plastic bags when walking their dogs. Please use the bag to pick up your pet's droppings on property belonging to others and in all common areas, including the park, the section behind the Villas fence, and along Lyon Drive.

Cat owners
While there are no leash laws for cats, owners should be aware of what their cat may be getting into when allowed to freely prowl the neighborhood.
