Because it\u2019s Independence Day, let\u2019s have a sit-down talk about the pros and cons of having your dogs on a leash or not. After all, a free dog is fun to watch as he explores his surroundings and mark his territory, compared to one that\u2019s inside his kennel.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pros of having your dogs on a leash<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Safety. <\/span><\/b>It\u2019s on the top of our list as having your dog secure gives you control over him. Dogs are unpredictable when you\u2019re walking them out, no matter how much training he had. They can dart in any direction when something strikes their fancy. Remember, as his owner, you\u2019re responsible for any harm or damage that he may do to a person or a property.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the law.<\/span><\/b> There are different <\/span>dog leash laws all over the US<\/span><\/a>. Depending on which state you\u2019re in, you should be aware of them. If you\u2019re living in other parts of the world, know what dog leash laws they <\/span>have. For example, Australia has leash-free (or lead-free) dog parks<\/span> but in most parts, dogs must be on a leash.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019re in control. <\/span><\/b>Your dog knows you\u2019re in charge. A tug of the leash will make them behave. Your dog is less likely to be naughty if he feels you are in control.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Leash training. <\/span><\/b>A leash is an effective tool to train your dog to behave. Once you\u2019ve leash trained your dog, he knows how to behave when he sees you have his leash. His wagging tail is an indication of the joys of walking the dog.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Improved companionship. <\/span><\/b>A leash<\/span>–<\/span>trained dog keeps better company compared to one who is not. He usually \u201cseeks\u201d your permission if he wants to explore a new area, for example.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cons of not having your dog on a leash<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Freedom unrestraint. <\/span><\/b>Dogs love to explore their surroundings. They dart to and fro, marking their territory. They either find trash to pick up or chew on which may cause harm to them. Unless they\u2019re well-trained and disciplined, your pet dog should never be out of your sight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tires easily. <\/span><\/b>That burst of energy when you untether your dog from his leash? That wanes fast. <\/span>He gets tired easily.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Walking disaster. <\/span><\/b>You don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen next if your dog encounters a cat or a dog. It\u2019s either fight or flight for your furball. Or if your dog meets someone who\u2019s afraid of canines. Do you really want to risk it?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are many thoughts on the pros and cons of having your dog on a leash. Be that as it may, it really pays if you train your dog properly and instill discipline. That way, you will know if you can have your dog on a leash, or in some occasions, free from it.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As always, make sure your pet has had his shots so that whatever happens, he won\u2019t get any harmful or fatal disease. Don\u2019t forget to feed him with <\/span>Addiction<\/span>\u2019s<\/span> pet food for dogs<\/span><\/a>, specially formulated with the finest premium proteins for your pet\u2019s overall wellbeing.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
