Good Dog Workshop

A LEASHED dog does not equate to a CONTROLLED dog. Many counties in the U.S. have leash laws but just because a dog is leashed, doesn't mean the dog's owner has control of him. And for those of us living in counties without a leash law, a dog off-leash does not equate to a dog not in control. Listen and share your comments & questions!
