| Leash around dog's waist, why??
The past year I've noticed a trend that seems a bit odd to me. I see a person come into Petsmart with their dog. The dog is wearing a flat bucklet collar with a leash hooked onto it. The leash then makes several loops around the dog's waist and then goes to the owner's hand.
What in the world is the point of that? Is it a control thing? How much good can it do when it only gives you control of the hindquarters, and gives you nothing in the front end? Seriously.......these people turn a corner and if doggy doesn't immediately follow he's being hauled ass first.
I've seen this done with several GSDs and again today with a Weimaraner. Is there some great purpose to this that I'm missing, or am I correct in thinking it's completely idiotic?
