Extendable dog leads really irritate me. What is the point of them?
If you have a dog on a lead, you shouldn't be letting it go and do what it wants. It's on a lead, you're the boss, it should be doing what you want.
It can still suddenly decide to run out on the road if the lead is extended.
And dogs like to be in front and lead the way, they like to think they are in control. If you let a dog think it is the boss, it can lead to all sorts of problems. You have to make sure it knows it is at the bottom of the pack.
I've got two dogs, and they both have normal leads. They walk quite happily by the side of me.
I think people who have these extendable dog leads are lazy - they can't be bothered to control or train their dogs properly.
