Keep dogs on a leash no longer than six feet in developed and day-use areas and under close control on backcountry routes. Pack out waste and carry all your own water.
Summer temperatures are dangerous for dogs, cactus spines and rocky ground are hard on paws, and access to the Sand Tank Mountains south of Interstate 8 requires a free Barry M. Goldwater Range permit.
A 6-foot leash is required in developed recreation areas like campgrounds, trailheads, and picnic sites. On most of the open BLM land there is no leash law, but your dog must be under control at all times, and local field offices can set stricter rules.
Service animals are allowed where pets are not, under the ADA. A leash is still required.
