We use a retractable leash and have had no issues but yes I have seen it. We usually stay at an 800 campsite campground so plenty of dogs.......... If people or another dog is near the leash is retracted to about a foot or less.... If no on is near she gets 10 feet or so.......... The problem we have is the small yappy dogs running up to ours ....fortunately she just looks at them like what?????? The owners usually run up and say "tiny" that dog could have you for lunch ....... hear that all the time Oh our dog usually does run out of our site....... Really ????? Leash you dog.
The other problem we have every time someone will come up to Sadie (Boxer) & put their face in the dogs face with out asking & say we miss ours we left them at home. They will only get a slobbery kiss but ewe poor dog people germs..........
