[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]+1, well trained lab and golden retrievers are better off leash. It's a fact that dogs get aggressive when leashed. Use a rule of reason. You should know your dog or face the consequences. [/quote]

Bullshit.  If your dog is aggressive when leashed it's because YOU let it be aggressive.  Doesn't matter what the breed is.[/quote]

No. It's a fact, dogs feel when you tug on your leash and think there is a problem.  Often the best thing to do is to drop your leash when you come upon another dog that is unleashed.

I believe from your strong reaction that you are probably not very thoughtful about this. But it's a fact.

Where I walk my dog on weekends it's a leash free country area and a lot of my friends and I agree that the worst thing is when someone comes along and sees your dog and leashes theirs.

Not all breeds of course are good off leash, but retrievers, spaniels, and s [/quote]

You keep repeating what you’re spewing is ‘fact’.  What’s your source?

I’m thinking you’re a troll because your post is just so preposterous and ignorant.  No one could be that stupid.

I am a new poster, but this is basic animal behavior and behavior modification.  A dog is naturally protective and most owners ruin their dogs with improper leash training.  it IS often best to drop the leash and walk away. the dog gets insecure when you are walking off and typically follows.  Now, as the normal dog owner does not bother to spend the money and time to go to a good trainer, i would not try this w/out seeking professional help first.  As a dog owner and parent, it drives me nuts how many people are completely ignorant when it comes to basic animal behavior and training.  Some breeds are more easily trained than others based on what they were breed to do.  I have sight hounds, so although they are great at recall, they are not 100% and have a high prey drive...ergo, no off leash. dogs should be watched in public and so should kids. dual responsibility.

Maybe both should be on a leash come to think of it! ha![/quote]

No, the reason why most people train their dog to a leash or keep their dog on a leash is because that is the law.  I don't care how well-trained your dog is, it is illegal (where I live at least) to walk your dog without a leash or to purposefully "drop" the leash, allowing the dog to technically be off leash.
