New York Consolidated Laws, Environmental Conservation Law - ENV § 11-0925. Special dog training areas

1. a. A dog owner or trainer may establish and maintain a special dog training area on land which the owner or trainer owns or has legal control.

b. The operator of a special dog training area may at any time during the year train the operator's own dogs or the dogs of other persons on such area, and permit others to train dogs.  The operator may hold field trials on wild game, or on liberated game, or on liberated artificially propagated game, or on led or confined game, or may in writing permit others to hold such trials, under such conditions as shall be agreed upon by the operator and such other person;  but no game shall be taken by shooting at such field trial.  No persons shall, on a special dog training area, train a dog, hold a field trial, enter accompanied by a dog, or permit a dog of which he is the owner or trainer to enter, except as provided in this section or in rules adopted pursuant hereto.  A permit from the department must be obtained before liberation of any wildlife, and such a permit may be withheld if, in the opinion of the department, granting it would endanger the health of native wildlife species.
