How long a leash?
Ok many CG's allow pets, great. Most if not all CG's state that pets in my case dog must be attached at all times, that I can understand as some people have no control over their dog. So my question ...

Forgot one other thing personally we recommend a harness instead of a collar. They can pull out of either but a harness is less likely to coke them.......
This is a GOOD POINT - it doesn't matter how short the leash is if the dog just pulled out of its collar. I saw the fatal results of a sheltie being taken to a groomer, pulling out of its collar and running into the street :-(
Which is why my dogs wear martingale-styled collars (also called greyhound collars). They're nylon, and work like a choke-collar with a stop on it. You adjust the stop point to be snug around the neck so they can't slip out no matter how hard or what direction they pull; but it doesn't cut off their air. Otherwise, the control loop lets it hang loose enough to be comfortable for the dog.
Now, when I use the dreaded Flexi's, I have to put harnesses on the dogs because they won't pull against the leash tension if it's snapped to their collars.
