Off-leash dogs vs. on-leash dogs – which are happier? Clearly, a dog will be happier with more freedom if nothing else changes. However, would an off-leash dog be happier if he had to wear an electronic collar and endure shock corrections? We consider the various off-leash and on-leash options here.
Off-Leash Neighborhood Dogs
My experiences with off-leash neighborhood dogs. While walking with my Siberian Husky we have been charged by large dogs (Akitas, GSDs, Pit-Bulls), small dogs, and all the sizes in-between. Off-leash neighborhood dogs, especially untrained off-leash dogs are dangerous because they may knock down children and seniors, start a fight with other dogs, and get hit by cars. Come share your off-leash dog story with us.
Charged by a Dog
I frequently get charged by large and small dogs while walking in the neighborhood. Leaving a dog to run loose in the neighborhood is dangerous to the dog, to other dogs, and to people; especially young children and seniors. This is what happened today when I was charged by a large German Shepherd.
