I would go for a really long leash... i let Samy off from time to time to play with other dogs but this is when we are in the park... when we take walks on the streets or in an unknown area - leash is on.. it is very long so he does actually taste the freedom to run here and there and I usually use verbal commands to lead him places and not with the leash but if anything approaches i am quick to pull him back and keep him safe. Better safe than sorry. |
