Interesting idea. I’m just a little worried about being ambushed by a dog walker whose “dog wants a friend.” Maybe someday.

I'd be careful with doing this, maybe see what your trainer thinks. I've never met a dog whose behavior improved from being tied up.

This is exactly why our park walks have become quite limited. Our boys are very social and we've never had a problem, however they are quite big and dont like surprises. We have had a couple of close encounters with (illegally) off leash dogs and it's just not worth the risk. Latrobe, Riverside, Patterson....they are all full of people who's dogs have "excellent recall"
