What the parish requires
The parish dog regulations page says every dog must be registered with the Animal Control and Rescue Center, vaccinated annually against rabies, and wear a collar and license tag, with a $50 fine listed for not doing so. Dogs must be confined to the home or a fenced yard or kept on a leash no longer than six feet, which matches the at-large definition in Title 14 of the code.
Strict liability and chains
The center's about page says owners are held strictly liable for the actions of their animals in the parish, and that a dog on a chain needs a tether five times its body length. If a dog is a threat, the parish can classify it as potentially dangerous, dangerous or vicious, each with its own requirements.
