SWEDEN…

Sweden is divided into twenty-one counties and every county further divides into a number of municipalities. (290 municipalities in 2004) Every municipality has its own “law” about how to keep dogs but they are pretty much the same so here is an example.

Dogs should be kept on a leash on market places, cemeteries, parks, playgrounds, on municipal bathing places and on certain jogging tracks.
A female in heat must be on a leash or in an enclosure.

In public places such as burial grounds, cemeteries, playgrounds or municipal bathing places you have to pick up the shit from your dog.

When a dog is off leash it should be wearing a collar that contains information such as; Name of the owner, address and phone number.

We also have a law about how to keep and care for dogs that is the same in the whole country.
But its more about things like; when you are allowed to have a dog in a cage, how big the enclosures must be, they must have food every day, you can only leave a puppy under 4 months alone a very short time, electric fence and electric collars are forbidden, you are not allowed to mate a female before her second heat but she has to be at least 18 months old, you should take out a dog at least every 6:th hour during the daytime, you have to look after the dog at least twice a day etc etc etc……

You can find the whole law here but it’s A LOT of info (and in Swedish)
