Extender leashes allow dogs greater freedom of movement, enabling them to cover more distance on a walk than the traditional 6-7 ft. leash, I have walked my dogs daily on a 24 ft extender lease for years. with the added length they can travel 3 to 4 times more distance during a walk just by the fact the have a large radius to travel than with the traditional leash. (they can run behind you, to your left to your right and so on) It also allows the dog to get into his natural stride, many (but not all) people who walk their dogs with the traditional leash walk slowly forcing the dog in to a slow stilted stride. <br />As to the difficulties you mentioned, these are easy issues to deal with. It is after all a simple extender leash you are operating, not a rocket science procedure. Be aware of your surroundings and what's going on around you, look for other dogs and people approaching, the dog can easily be rained in by walking toward them and engaging the lock. (They can by the way be locked at nay length you wish to prevent some passer by from being "riddled with rope burns) In all the years I have never had and incident that could not have happened with the traditional leash. As to the never learning leash manners, that has little to do with the length of the leash, the responsibility there falls to the owner, in fact i would say that most if not all, of the difficulties you sited are examples of irresponsible owners not a extender leash vs traditional leash issue. I see the traditional leash as a trip to the vet, or store, or crowded conditons, leash. As for walking the extender leash is the next best thing to off leash for allowing a dog to explore and enjoy his surrounding while walking.GRThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15551504379450561254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341776667634084741.post-56465140592284344232013-06-05T05:49:05.429-07:002013-06-05T05:49:05.429-07:00Hello to all, how is all, I think every one is get...Hello to all, how is all, I think every one is getting more from this site, and your views are fastidious in support of <br />new people.<br /><br />my website ... <a href="http://travemundo.com/opting-clear-cut-tips-during-halong-bay-2013-06-02" rel="nofollow">halong bay cruise valentine</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341776667634084741.post-4656920877754263652013-06-05T03:47:44.540-07:002013-06-05T03:47:44.540-07:00whoah this blog is magnificent i love reading your...whoah this blog is magnificent i love reading your posts.<br />Keep up the great work!

The piece of $hit little ankle biter scared the daylights out of my son causing him to fall off is bike. He was fine, but had he gotten hurt, it would have been a struggle to not strangle the woman AND her lousy little viscious dog with that God forsaken leash!
