The first time that ever happened to me it was with my Beagle about a year ago, I was putting my shoes on and set it down, he walked away, and it followed , next thing i knew he was scrambling and yakking, my kids were laughing like mad and it took me a minute to figure out what he was scared of. Later when we got back, i left it on him in the yard on the grass i sat outside with him dragging it for about and hour, since then he has had no problem. With 2 dogs I tend to use the leash for 2 dogs, Bailey always wants to be beside me or him anyway and they don't get tangled with that one, so it works well for us......I could't imagine the terror that I would have felt if It had have happened to me while on a walk.....I'm glad everyone is ok.
