And I know I see retractable leads out there on walks all the time, but I was taught they are only to be used for specific training commands in a controlled environment, not for taking your dog for a walk. 
 
Gemy-  There was no need for giving me a hard time about walking my dog on a retractable leash.  That was a hard mistake I will never make again.  And alot of people use retractable leashes for walking their dogs. 
I thank you and Teresa for the advice you've given me.  I think it will be for the best that I wait till Jackie is done with obediance school and then were going onto agility classes.  So with all that going on I don't think I will  have any time for a 2nd dog at this time.  
Based on Jackie's performance around other dogs at her classes, will help me decide on a 2nd dog in the future.   
Thank you!
