I agree, it is about control, I have my Staffie at a word, I know I can tell him to stay in a spot and he will, only standing up to do his business.
However, he is never off the lead where other people may be, fortunately,where I am at Uni and also at my Parents home, we have a really big garden, with a 6foot fence all round it, so he can run free all he likes there.

Really in any place where the public are,I think Dogs should be on a lead at all times, again for as I said above, the protection of the people and also the protection of the Dog too.
