I hope I don't sound hypocritial because of what I said in my last post. But here in the city I NEVER let Missy off her leash unless we are in the dog park. When I go to pick her up to take her out she is leashed even on the short walk from the house to my car, I just worry about all the what ifs... like if she saw another dog and wanted to chase it or anything like that. While I know Missy is well behaved and wouldn't run I still worry and if she is outside the house for a second she is always leashed.
