Leash training is important for all dogs – it helps to keep them safe, as well as other people and dogs around them, but it’s not always easy to get it right.
In the US, dog ownership laws can vary between jurisdictions, so you might find that dogs need to be kept on the best dog leashes if you don’t want to be fined. And, in the UK, a temporary new law is currently in action that requires dogs to be kept on a leash when near livestock or on open access land – including forests, lakes, and beaches – to protect ground-nesting birds.
