Running the other direction in this case would have done nothing, he was totally freaked out and was not concerned with where I was, he was trying to get away from this thing chasing him, which of course if he would stop it would stop, but that's totally counter intuitve for them, so the faster he ran the more freaked out he got.
And yes, I will have a death grip on it from now on, I was changing it from hand to the other behind my back, he likes to tangle me up when we walk, I won't do that anymore!
Also, I've tried it a cople more times around the apt. and he absolutely FREAKS out when this thing is dragging behind him. He ran into his crate the last time and I took it off of him and he didn't want to come out of the crate. Then I had the leash laying on the floor and he wanted to come up on the couch with me but he went way around the leash. I might have to get another kind of leash, just the regular kind, so he doens't freak out anymore. I can't take the chance of dropping the retractable kind.
