I rarely use a leash, only when it really necessary/dangerous. My dog never runs away from me. I had a couple situations when some people tried to punish me that I don't take care of my dog. excuse me
, I DO take care of her, but I do know her very well also. She knows that she CANNOT step away from sidewalk. I feel safe, but people just don't understand that she is very smart and listen to me very well
