I have dropped retractables, too, and it freaks THEM out when it comes shooting at their butts!
It freaks me out, too, of course, and I have the lightweight strength, but tall grass and small sticks freak them out when they are touched by them unexpectedly.
I guess when dogs are being allowed to 'drag the leash' there are not many human feet around that might accidentally step on that same leash...true?
I think this way possibly because I have cats with long tails, and I have occasionally stepped accidentally on a few 'leashes' (tails) dragged across my path...and the sudden stop by the cat is nothing compared to the murderous scream they make, the scratches you get, and the guilt...the awful guilt...from the best 'stink eyes' ever!
I do understand how hard it is to catch a running Yorkie, though, so I can see how having the leash where you can at least hope to hop on it might come in handy.
Very interesting question...very interesting discussion...thank you.
