A lot of "those ppl" have owned, trained, and raised dogs their entire life (probably longer than I have even been alive) and I would imagine they most certainly DO know what they are talking about.

That having been said, it is fine so long as they are not pulling on the leash. The SECOND Jamie starts to pull, I stop dead in my tracks and do not resume walking until she has stopped pulling, or sat down (she usually sits as soon as I stop walking).
