A dog trainer’s rant …

Don’t get me wrong. For certain dogs, those who have already been taught to walk nicely on a leash, retractable leashes would be fine. But from what I have seen, most folks who buy them do not fit into that category. Instead, they are folks whose dogs have had little if any training and now have the freedom to not only torment their owners but now also have the freedom to torment others as well.

The other aspect of these leashes that drive me nuts is that they encourage pulling. Let me break it down for you. Your dog doesn’t know how or what a leash is for, either because he’s a puppy or has never been taught. And you put him on this retractable leash. You try to be a good dog owner and not give too much freedom and you keep him close. However, he is pulling just like he always does and bang! The mistake. You accidentally pull that little trigger and Fido all of the sudden gets more leash. Trust me, it only takes one time for Fido to figure out the best way to get more leash is to simply keep pulling.

One other thing you might want to consider before going with one of these leashes is the sheer number of folks who have had their fingers amputated or severely injured while using them! Just Google “finger amputation with retractable leashes.” Or better yet, take a look at the packaging of one of these leashes. They all now have this particular warning, I would imagine, to keep from getting sued …
