Some places have breed-specific laws targeting bully-breeds that specify what type of leash, and what sort of collar must be used. I think that in most cases, smaller dogs can get away with a sliding collar/leash combo. But you are best off having a secure buckle-on collar that they wear all the time so that your dog always has ID tags on them. Then a leash can be snapped to that, or you can use a choke-chain if you want.
Thanks for the information. I was never aware of "leash law", but I have never owned a dog myself.
Who is there to enforce this law? What happens if someone ignore it?
