A battle is brewing in the city of Westmount between dog owners and some residents around the city’s Summit Woods who want to see dogs on leashes at all times in the leafy, treasured space where dogs can often run free.
“The dogs need a lot of mental stimulation and physical exercise and they get that here. It’s a really special place,” he said. “It’s good for the owners, it’s good for the dogs. In general the owners tend to be respectful of the times when you need to be on leash, and the owners tend to be responsible.”Residents also say the woods offer a very different experience for dogs and their owners than an enclosed dog park.
Nezhad says that last Saturday, she missed a doctor’s appointment because a car was blocking her driveway. She says the woods are a mess, and complains many owners don’t collect their dog droppings. She also complains that Westmount public security does not police the woods enough.“It’s the worst situation in many decades we have seen,” she said. “The trees, all the vegetation, they are destroyed because the people walk anywhere and the dog goes anywhere.
