Retractable leads work for some but have a bunch of problems, one especially for young dogs is that they keep constant pressure on the lead so make it impossible to teach nice walking as they can't feel when they're at the limit

Fucking hate dog owners with retractable leads. Well, the ones I have encountered, who happily let dog and lead stretch over paths and roads as a dangerous obstacle to riders, runners etc. There may be a whole group of dog owners who don't misuse their retractable leads like that, but I don't see them.

But retractable leads surely? All the benefits of reasonable distance for dog to run about securely, none of the hassle. What do I know, not a dog owner but I do like dogs
