ok, using Selzer's scenario ----
the person has already violated the terms of the lease, endangered their children (another law), allowed a dog to roam at large (against the law in most areas), allowed a dog to assault a person (against the law of common sense if nothing else), the list goes on and on.
What makes you think that, just because there is now a law that says you must do A,B, and C to own this dog, that they would say "OOOPS, better not own a dog" Irresponsible people will be irresponsible no matter what.
Even if the person had a kennel as you specified, how do you guarantee they will use it? That at some point of some day they will decide it's easier to just open the door to let their dog pee than to walk them out to the kennel? You can't, because you CAN NOT legislate responsibility and common sense.
