My dog gets upset because he's on leash and then the other dog starts to follow us and the drama starts! I have had several incidents in my area with off leash dogs coming out of the garage, out of the yard, out of the car, to my on leash dog and not under voice control.
While I have never had that happen with off-leash dogs running after my dog, I can understand your concern. A leashed dog feels vulnerable around unleashed dogs. I also don't believe very many dogs in TV are totally under voice control, on leash or off. That training involves weeks of practice. Most of our TV dogs are just pets and not strictly trained.
