I used one when Kiara, Nebo, Amy, and I went hiking in Utah. That's the only times I've ever used one. So, I haven't had much experience with them.

I prefer the double loop leads when walking. I like to have control over them when we're walking. Kiara prefers no lead and actually behaves better without one - my voice is the only control she needs.

Kiara is the same way as Fenway. She couldn't care less about people or other animals. She's weird and does get an occasional urge to walk up to another dog or person, but it's rare and a very quick sniff, that's all.
