Idaho State Dog Bite Laws:
While Idaho does not have a specific dog bite statute, dog owners may still be liable for injuries caused by his or her dog under general common law negligence principles. As such, if the owner did not exercise reasonable control over the dog, and the dog injures a person, the owner may be liable. Additionally, an owner may be subject to strict liability if the owner knew, or had reason to know, that the dog had a dangerous propensity or tendency which caused the injury. Dog owners should be aware that any dog that, even when not provoked, physically attacks or injures a person (not a trespasser) may be defined as "vicious dog." Owners of vicious dogs must take special care to ensure that the dog is not able to escape from its enclosure, and that all vicious dogs must be properly restrained by a chain when not in the enclosure. Violations of the dangerous dog statute may result in fines for the owner.
