ok... so in the town i live in almost all the parks or trails you take your dog to, you hafta have em on a leash. which is understandable except my doberman wont walk on a leash.. she'll stay right beside me no matter what and stays in-step with me perfect, so there's really no problem except for the fact that she hasta be on a leash no matter what. i guess her way of thinkin is i'll be good as long as you dont put one of them things on me! but im not allowed to walk her with out one per park rules.... any suggestions on how to fix this problem??

if she has to be on a leash then i guess its the rules.. i would prefer mine on a leash no matter what , you never know whats gonna happen, especially if you havent owned her for very long, yo dont know how she might react in some areas etc.

keep her on a long loose leash and give her lots of treats !! she will get used to it soon !!

Leash train her. It's not dog abuse and she'll understand that soon enough.

leash training is simple, and having your dog walk well on a lead is good way to bond...
