MONTGOMERY COUNTY, TENN. – Dog owners in Montgomery County have new rules regarding their pets. The County Commission approved a resolution Monday night that makes it illegal to chain a dog to a fixed object for more than half-an-hour.

The commission did make an exception for an in-ground cable that allows 360-degrees of movement.

Current law only required chained animals to have adequate food, water, shelter and no obstacles that could tangle the restraint.
