I don't want this thread to get heated. I truly appreciate everybody on this forum. I think we are all unusually opinionated. Maybe that is a trait of animal lovers.

I don't want to get into a debate because, although we disagree on this particular issue, we are in agreement regarding so many other issues. We all love our animals and have a lot in common.

We should all just agree to disagree, don't you think?

As for me - I believe I will leash Max on walks off the property but allow him off leash, supervised, on our property as Uabassoon suggested.
