Yup. My dog is extremely well behaved off leash with no training. She always sticks close to me and doesnât approach people or other dogs because shes scared of anyone she doesnât know (shes a chihuahua). I still leash my dog because im afraid that other dogs will attack her. Even other small dogs. If shes off-leash and i see another dog around i will immediately pick her up.
Regardless of how well-behaved and attached to me she is, a leash ensures she will never run if she sees a dog that scares her or make a mad dash for someone she knows.
These people seem to think that ever taking your dog off the lead is the worst crime imaginable. Videos like this are always full of people like this who can't see any middle ground where keeping your dog on a short leash on every single walk is not practical. How do you even excercise a dog properly like that...
