2 things - the dog kind of learns to pull since it is rewarded with more leash and also they are annoying when trying to control your dog in a crowd. They have a specific purpose. We use them for letting the dogs go outside in our own yard since we don't have a fence. When we walk on the sidewalk we use 4 foot leashes. The dogs learn that they can only go out a few feet and have to stay near to you.
