I’ve watched my dad do this. It’s uncanny how effective it is. And I’m pretty sure that most of the time, the person who leashed their unleashed dog didn’t even think of the incident as having rules enforced on them. The usual reaction — yes, really! — is more along the lines of, “Oh, thanks!” “I didn’t know that!” “Oh yeah, I should do that!” Maybe a sulky “well, OK.”
Is it 100% effective? I doubt it! But it’s a hell of a lot more effective than intimidation.
