[quote=Anonymous]why they do it: because it allows the dog to explore more and get in a little more exercise than they would on a leash. They do it because they are so confident in their own dog, but oblivious to the stress it puts on leashed dogs. We used to let our dog off leash. I admit it, we were oblivious. We thought because he was so friendly and gentle it wouldn't be a problem. We now have a rescue dog that is great with the family, but defensive around other dogs until she has gotten used to them. She feels very threatened by dogs that approach her when she is on a leash. Even if that dog is a little 4 lbs overgrown rat. Until someone has tried to handle a fearful, leashed dog around an unleashed dog, they don't get it. When we go to my parents' home in the country, she gets to run through the woods and jump in the lake. In the city, she is on a leash if she is not in our home or fenced yard.[/quote]
