The owner of a dangerous dog shall, at all times when the dog is on the owner’s property, keep the dog securely confined within a building or enclosure capable of preventing the dog’s escape and the entry of children under the age of 12 years old. As well, post a sign at the entrance to where the dog is kept, warning in writing, as well as with a symbol, that there is a dangerous dog on the property.
