It's really hard! How far could you walk an Alaskan Malamute who has no leash training, and is attached to you by a harness and a flimsy retractable leash?<br /><br />A dachshund that wraps you up in the leash ten times before you take a step?<br /><br />Two labs that lunge at anything exciting without any notice to the person they're walking with?<br /><br />The cases above are not extreme, they're average. If perchance you have a well behaved dog, any time you see another person with a dog while walking, you and your dog are also at risk for mayhem. One of my clients has a dog with massive scars on its side from a Pomeranian.<br /><br />I think if adequate training were given to the owners of dogs, many of the issues seen today would clear up.
