I do believe it depends on your dogs personality. I have three of them and I have to carry one when I'm walking my other two. My girl that I carry loves to smell the roses and only feels secure when she has her space and doesn't feel invaded by others. If I let her loose in the yard she takes off like a bullet but if I walk her she get's behind and scopes everything and not even ten minutes she's begging to be picked.
