I've had big and small dogs over the years (currently have small dogs). I am usually one of the few campers in any campground who expects my small dogs not to charge and yap at other dogs; no, I don't want to stop and "let our dogs play". When we were at a campground last mnonth, a clueless lady with a yorkie walked her dog frequently on a flexi-leash (PLEASE don't get me started on that topic...), and she let the dog come well onto our site every time, peeing on a nearby bush - argghhhh!
When I see those flexi-leashes, I want to wrap them around the owner's neck. They are absolutely worthless to maintain control of a dog.
What is a flexi-leash???? Are you talking about retractable leashes????
Sorry I think I figured it out. Never heard them called Flexi-leashes. Like Kleenex & tissues. Flexi. is the brand name & retractable leash is what it is ?? is that correct??
If so I like using a retractable leash with our Boxers it gives me better control. I retract it to within a foot or so when someone or another dog is near & let her have about 6 feet or so when no one is around if she needs it. Gives a better handle to holds onto. She usually walks on my left side at my side. When my son walks her it drives him crazy.... he says Dad I can sure tell you are left handed. :)
