| i say all the training the world isn't gonna help if the dog has a strong will.. if it sees something it wants, it's gonna take off. i have never and will never have maverick out in the front yard w/o his leash. it's not worth the risk.
and what about other dogs staying out of your yard. say one comes on your property and decides to go after yours. at least if your dog is on a leash, you'd have a better chance helping it and/or getting it away from the other dog, don't you think? |
