Unless your dog is a hostage, you should leash train it to enter uncharted territories. It is a mandatory skill that your companion should acquire to walk around, for avoiding accidents, for exercise, and to train overall obedience.

Walking your dog should be trouble-free for you and pain-free for your dog.
Predominantly there are 2 types of harnesses you can buy; ones that are put over your dog’s head and the ones that require your dogs to step into. The type of harness you choose should depend on your dog’s build.
