I don't like dogs who are off leash because they can get into trouble. My neighbor has had his dog for the longest time. He is very obediant and they go for walks without a leash. I don't doubt it for one second that if my neighbor says, "Come" the dog will listen but who knows if there are any other loose dogs who aren't as obediant. Fights can happen.

You should keep your dog on leash for his safety and for the safety of other dogs and people. Mickey almost got attacked by a huge Lab while on a walk. I had him on leash but the house we passed by didn't have their dog leashed.

Once we looked outside the window and there was a huge Boxer at the bottom of our stairs. My dad freaked! lol. It was actually the neighbors dog...they always keep him loose.

I'm rambling...sorry
