First, take the dog out on a leash and let him sniff around the porch. Keep doing that daily until he gets used to it, and you can pretty much let go of the leash. Then take the leash off completely. Your dog should know the command "no", so if he tries to get off the porch, you can simply say no. If this doesn't work, take him to obedience classes.
Train it to follow you
Yes, any dog *can* be walked without a leash. A well trained, well socialized Akita would be fine off leash if it obeys commands willingly. However, only let a dog off leash where it is allowed.
There are two ways to answer this question since I don't know which you need:the possessive form for the compound noun 'dog leash' is the dog leash's (What is the dog leash's cost?).the possessive form for the leash of the dog is dog's leash (The dog's leash is new.).
Canine officers often use a special leash that can be adjusted to several uses. It can be a six foot tracking leash, a three foot agitation leash, or an over the shoulder hands-free leash. They are usually equipped with a special snap that allows them to release the dog even when the dog is already straining at the leash. Most leash snaps are impossible to release without first making the snap slack.
The possessive form for "that leash belongs to a dog" is "That is a dog's leash."
Do what electric dog fence companies do and set up a perimeter of flags, and multiple times a day go to different part of your yard (with your dog on a leash) and shake the flag and tell him "NO". It takes at least a month but its well worth it. Good luck :)
probably the person with the off leash dog
If the other dog was off leash, then probably not.
a leash can keep a dog in check
as long as the yard has a fully fenced in area where the dog can not escape you do not have to have your dog on a leash
throat Injuries can occur if a dog pulls on a leash repeatedly. Initial warning signals are coughing, wheezing and choking. An anti-pull dog harness is the answer, along with proper training for your dog to learn to walk without pulling.
A dog should should always be taught the recall before being let of the lead. It is stupid and dangerous to let any dog off leash without a recall.
