Yes? No? Sometimes?
I always walk my dogs on leashes. I put them on extra extra long ones when we're somewhere besides a sidewalk but I am just not comfortable letting them off because A. they are still intact (which is reason enough to keep them on a leash regardless of anything else) and B. Spanky is overly friendly and gets easily excited. He has been attacked twice due to him wanting to play and other dogs even though I was told they were friendly just snap. So wee Spanky, for his own saftey, is never let off for that reason too.
How about you guys? What are your reasons for what you do? How do you guys feel about other dogs that are off leash? How about the dogs that are let off leash but don't listen to their owners?
