What if there was an electronic-style leash that kept the dog connected to you but wasn't tethered to you (so the dog could go around a tree without taking you with him)?

I think I had that with Dakota. He was always with me. If I was in the kitchen cooking he was there, if I walked to bedroom he followed, if I went the bathroom, he was there. When I first got him I told my mom that he followed me so close that if he was a tall dog, and I bent over, he would go up my rear!! lol
ReplyDeleteOf course, in the house that's totally not necessary ;)
DeleteSign me up!
ReplyDeleteNah. I'd worry it would short out somehow and zap the dog! Or, turn off and the dog would catch on and run off! I walk Mickey to the park on a regular leash, and once there trade it for a 20' one. He has his regular trees to sniff, but I don't mind following him around them.
ReplyDeleteThat is the danger, to be sure.
DeleteI'd like to be able to walk a cat but I doubt ours would go for that.
ReplyDeleteNot sure.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
I guess this could be a sign of the future to come. Who knows? I guess we'll still have dogs and everyone including our four legged friends will have established rights in the future.
ReplyDeleteI might like that in real lie.
ReplyDeleteI meant life.
Deletelol
DeleteIf there was a model that didn't have any danger of hurting the dog (or the owner!), that would be a wonderful invention indeed.
ReplyDeleteYes, now if only someone with the technical expertise sees this (or even dreams it up on their own), we'll be set.
DeleteOr getting the leash tangled up his legs which makes me stop to free it.
ReplyDeleteCount me in for a bluetooth leash, for sure.
Exactly.
DeletePerfect!! I would be walking my freaked out dog then without having him take my shoulder out of its socket. He is terrified of the outside..phobic. No matter what we did or who. We brought him to, it didn’t matter.
ReplyDeleteThe dragging of a dog (or holding one back) might be more problematic. I would hope the makers would figure that one out.
DeleteSounds interesting :D
ReplyDeleteOr without the dog tripping you or tangling leashes with his brother. Sheesh, get this going already:)
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the tangling is a real problem.
DeleteNot a dog owner, or lover of dogs; but since I walk so much I constantly see people trying to walk their dogs. I say trying, because they're constantly tangled up in the line and or having their shoulders pulled out of socket(always a small person with an over sized dog that they can't possibly control)....so your what if sounds like a really good idea to me. PLUS it would keep the dog with the owner vs it trying to run up to those walking, running, or biking by.
ReplyDeleteAll good reasons why this should be a thing.
