Powder Springs bans most tethering of dogs

Dogs now mostly have relief from tethering not only in Cobb County but also in Powder Springs.

A second public hearing and 5-0 vote occurred recently by the Powder Springs City Council on changing the city code to match the county code for dog tethering.

“It shall be unlawful for any owner of a dog to chain, tie, fasten or otherwise tether the dog to a stationary object or pulley run as a means of confinement, except that the dog may be temporarily confined by a tether while attended by its owner,” according to the new county code adopted by Powder Springs officials.
