By the end of 2024, it had 1,116,243 registered companion animals \u2014 roughly 30% of the national total. Experts say the high ownership rate reflects the province\u2019s dense population and its concentration of single-person and family households.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The surge in pet adoptions has reshaped community life, and conflicts between neighbors over animals are increasingly common. Fostering a mature pet culture now depends on \u201cpetiquette,\u201d a set of courtesies that both owners and non-owners must observe.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>When walking or taking pets out, the basic rule is to keep them leashed. Under the Animal Protection Act, leash length in public must not exceed 2 meters (about 6 ft 6 in). This simple safety measure helps owners control animals in sudden situations and prevents others from feeling threatened. Prompt removal of pet waste is a public-health and neighborly obligation: always carry bags on walks and clean up thoroughly so nothing is left behind.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Breeds listed as dangerous under the Animal Protection Act \u2014 such as the Tosa, American Pit Bull Terrier, and Rottweiler \u2014 are required to be both leashed and muzzled in public.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Even dogs not on the statutory list can be designated dangerous by metropolitan or provincial officials if they pose a threat to people or other animals. Owners of those dogs must ensure muzzle training and strict management to prevent sudden aggressive behavior. Proper precautions protect both neighbors and the animals themselves.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Petiquette is not the owner\u2019s burden alone. Passersby should avoid approaching or touching an animal without the owner\u2019s permission and refrain from loud noises or sudden movements \u2014 what seems friendly to a person can feel threatening to a pet. Only through voluntary cooperation between owners and non-owners can Korea truly become a pet-friendly society, and Gyeonggi Province aims to lead that cultural shift.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gyeonggi Province has the highest pet registrations in South Korea, with over 1.1 million pets, accounting for 30% of the national
