Thanks!
In the big .pdf, I do think you are reading or interpreting part of it wrong.
A dog or cat that BITES a person is confined and observed for 10 days (page 18 of the .pdf, but the page says 17 at the bottom of it.) If the animal shows no signs of rabies, the manual does not call for...
Do you have a link to the law that requires that?
I have seen other states require a 6-month quarantine for a dog exposed to rabies (because rabies has a very long incubation period, and it takes that long to know if the dog actually got rabies.)

Can you put up a fence at the property line, and teach your dog not to cross it?
The bigger and stronger the dog, the harder it is to make a dog-proof fence. If you can teach your dog to respect the fence, even when...
