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.....
