(1) No person who owns or keeps a dog shall permit the dog to:
(a) Defecate in a public place, unless the person immediately removes the feces from the property;
(b) Chase vehicles or persons;
(c) Scatter garbage;
(d) Run at large in a public place, except for any park area specifically designated as a "dog park;" or

(2) Violation of this section constitutes a violation, punishable as prescribed in section 5.990(5).
(3) In addition or in alternative to the penalty prescribed in section 5.602(2), the Court may impose reasonable restrictions on the keeping of the dog to protect the public health, safety and welfare.
