(A) Every person owning or having charge, care, custody or control of any dog shall keep the dog exclusively upon his own premises secured by a fence no smaller than ten feet by ten feet for one dog, and an increase of 25 square feet for each additional dog giving the dog adequate space for exercise and without at any time being fastened, chained or tied while such dog is on the owner’s own property. The dog may be off the premises if it is under direct control of a responsible person. Direct control shall be affected only by leash. The requirements of this section are not altered by whether or not a dog is vicious or uninoculated.

(B) It shall be unlawful to fail to promptly remove and properly dispose of all feces left by the animal on any public property or any private property not owned by the owner.
