Dog Bite Resource CenterVentura County Dog Bite LawsVentura County has yet to put in place any city or county ordinances regarding dangerous dogs. The following two county ordinances are common for most counties, but do not deal with dangerous dogs directly. 4467 Animal nuisances. Any animal, except an animal kept or controlled by a governmental agency, which has committed any one or more of any of the following acts is a public nuisance:
(b) Unprovoked threatening behavior toward any person where such person is conducting himself or herself lawfully which occurs in such circumstances as to cause such person reasonably to fear for his or her physical safety. (c) The utterance of barks or cries which are so loud, so frequent and continued over so long a period of time as to deprive persons residing in two or more residences in the neighborhood of the comfortable enjoyment of their homes. (d) An unprovoked infliction of physical injury upon any other animal which occurs off the property of the owner or keeper of the animal inflicting the injury. (e) The damaging of the real or personal property of some person other than the owner or keeper of the animal which occurs off the property of the owner or keeper of the animal. (f) The dumping of trash cans or the spreading of trash which occurs off the property of the owner or keeper of the animal. (g) The chasing of pedestrians, vehicles or ridden horses which occurs off the property of the owner or keeper of the chasing animal. Such public nuisance may be abated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Sections 4467-1 through 4467-10. Such procedures are in addition to any other remedies which may be available under the law. (Am. Ord. 3713--12/4/84) 4468 Destruction of wild dogs.
