Only if YOU let them. 8 dogs have shared my life and home. No dog a present. Dogs "sniff, snoop, pee and poop" at home. Walk was for exercise. Short leash, walk side by side, head held up, steady pace, proud and happy dog. Think treadmill if you like, but this is exercise. A stroll with an extendible leash where dog wanders here and there, sniffing and snooping searching for scents that advertise toilet locations is not a walk, it is a search for toilet stops. If, on a walk (a real walk, not a pretend one) dog absolutely unable to hold it, let it go in the gutter then you pick it up and finish walk. Good brisk wasp is heathy for dog and owner.
