My dog is always on a lease -- especially because of a busy highway in front of the house. It's a pain to walk her up to 4 x per day, but it does get me out and provides exercise.
On a funny note, one morning it was about -20 with deep snow and I wasn't crazy about going ouside. I figured she wouldn't go very far so I just opened the door and she reluctantly went out without me. She kept looking back as if to say," Aren't you coming?" Needless to say she didn't go far, did her business, and came running back to the door. I guess -20 is too much even for a Spitzbreed Akita, although she doesn't mind it if it's above zero.
