One of the benefits of a retractable leash is that you can easily keep your dog right next to you, with the leash retracted, it will be easier to control your dog mostly in a crowded area. This also gives freedom for your dog to roam around, run and explore.
However, you can’t control a collapsible leash if your dog is overly active or unmanageable. Since your dog has more freedom to roam around, he might get too far, or worst you both might get hurt if he runs and you cannot control him.
It is best to have your dog undergo leash training where you can teach him and enforce him to behave if he is on a leash. You can also start by establishing the basic commands and the signs for dos and don’ts. Once your dog gets used to having a leash, it will be easier for you to walk him around using a retractable or collapsible leash.
Call your nearest veterinary hospital San Diego, CA to make sure that your pet’s preventatives and vaccinations are up to date before taking your pet on outdoor excursions.
