retractable leashes should be banned
(For every dog over 15 lbs, anyway.)
They are just plain dangerous. You have no control and they can break. If you have a dog that pulls, you’ll just be dragged around. Forget using a gentle leader – it just doesn’t work. Just get a good strong leash and let your dog sniff the area around you. If he pulls, get a gentle leader. If your dog needs a wider sniff range, go to an enclosed dog park, or go hiking. Or invest in a 30 foot lead, take a blanket, and go to the park.
Why do people use them? I’ll never know.
