Buying in the New Haven area
If New Haven is home, these are the local points worth checking before you spend six figures.
Budget about $100,000 and up for a dog trained to a professional standard, the figure ProtectionDogs.com publishes. If the dog guards a New Haven business, a CPA can tell you how deductions and depreciation apply (Nolo explains the basics).
New Haven licensing
According to the city's dog license page, every dog over six months must be licensed by June 30 each year, with a current rabies vaccination. The listed fee is $8 for a spayed or neutered dog and $19 otherwise, and a $1 fee is added for each month late.
Parks and dog parks
Chapter 19 of the New Haven code says domestic animals may not enter or go at large in a park except dogs held on a leash by their keepers. The city's animals and pets page lists four dog parks, open sunrise to sunset: Union Street, East Rock, Edgewood and Fort Hale.
