It would definitely be a lot of fun for your dog to run around without a leash, but it is a good idea? Definitely not! Here are a few reasons why you should always make sure your dog is on a leash.

First, it’s a great way to ensure his safety. Walking down the street, your dog could dart into the road and get hit by a car. Another dog may approach your pet, and if the interaction doesn’t go well, your dog could end up getting hurt. Having him on a leash provides you with control over your dog’s safety.

You’re also protecting other people and animals. No matter how well behaved your animal is, you just never know how he’ll act when he’s confronted with a new person, animal, or situation.

If you want to let your dog off the leash, visit the dog park. To find one, call your veterinary clinic Ellicott City, MD or set an appointment at this website Claws N Paws Animal Hospital.
