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.
Just to butt in on all this.....

My mother had a very close friend who was an Agility judge at Crufts....she was also a Border Collie breeder, and ran puppy training classes....

When mum took her Boxer puppy there for a little bit of obedience she was taught to always leave the long nylon training leash on but, if there was a 'handle' on the end, to cut that off, in case it got caught on anything.

Just to add my little perspective from over the pond..... Sally + Harry x
