They are the bane of my existence! No dog is under control on a flex lead, most especially medium to large size dogs.

A neighbours dog was walking by and I started to chat with another neighbour. Now the dog owner had also stopped to chat. I ignored the dog as I often do in these situations. He came eventually close to me smelled my dog coat and lunged n growled and barked at me. Not a comfy situation. I backed away slowly sidestepped out of visual contact and suffered no injury. But that owner had a sixty odd pound dog on a flexi lead and was fumbling around on how to control him, in essence he had no control!

Please do not walk dogs on flexi leads. If you want to give your dog some running space pick an environment appropriate. That means take a regular lead and a flexi lead with you.
