Even to take a quick pee, we harness and leash both our dogs and walk them in our yard. It’s just not worth the chance to have anything go wrong.

Thank you for always leashing your dogs. Whether large or small, any dog running up to people or someone walking their dog could cause the dog walker to be pulled down onto pavement. The owner of the unleashed dog is responsible for any injuries caused to others walking with or without a leashed pet. If more people thought about the liability, they may think twice before leaving their dog off leash.
