Did you actually read your comment? "It is unlawful for any animal to be in a public place unless it is controlled by a leash, and in the control of a person competent to restrain the animal." That means strong enough to control the animal. Continuing, "Control of an animal by command is allowed if the animal is engaged in an activity that precludes it from accomplishing that activity if restrained (e.g. free-running to train for mushing)." That does not include going for walks with the family, chasing squirrels, etc. The only public place that dogs can be allowed free run is in designated dog parks, not on the trail system, or campgrounds, where they are all clearly posted that your animals must be on a leash at all times. I am not familiar with free-running to train for mushing? Is that a normal way to train sled dogs? Curious how that would be effective in training a dog to pull a sled?
