Leashing your dog is so beneficial to you and your furry friend. Your dog may be friendly and never even harm a fly, but ‌we never know what our dogs might do when put into the wrong situation. Having your pet on a leash prevents this and provides safety and security to others. Besides that, the dog that your off-leash dog approaches may not do well with other dogs and could feel threatened, prompting an attack. Some people at the park might not like dogs. As sweet as your pup is, they may not want to interact with it. It is simply respectful having them on a leash.
