A New Leash on Life....an opinion on leash laws

A law to leash is a measure of protection for people, wildlife,  and dogs alike. In defense of leashing policies, when everyone is on leash then no one gets hurt. It is very difficult to measure the degree of control someone has when a dog is "off leash" in a public place. Some people obviously have more control over their dogs than others; the invisible "leash" has many lengths and in some cases, is non-existent as some people are oblivious to their own dogs' potential for destruction or ability to respond to the recall.  I feel that it is wrong to assume that all off-leash dogs are safe to approach or free of behavioral shortcomings, such as aggression, whether from dominance issues or fear issues. To safely have a dog off-leash is to have a positive recall response and a high degree of obedience in the respective dog's behavior. A Leash Law is not always against the best interest of people/dog real estate, but allows for freedom to enjoy the areas included without fear of untoward instances with the wild side of life.
