Who walks their dog off-lead?

My dogs are well trained (even if I do say so myself) but I would NEVER walk them offlead in a busy area. Even though they focus on me 99.9% of the time they are animals and as such I cannot be absolutley sure what they are going to do.
Personally I am not prepared to run any risks with their safety, no matter how small. It just isn't worth it
 
I will never walk my dogs off the lead in a public place. I'm a responsible owner but I'm also well aware others arent and I keep mine on leads to protect them.

Flexi leads.. argh should be banned, but thats another thread...
 
Yes pretty much always. The only time I put my dog on a lead is near very busy roads but I have walked through town centers with her offlead etc. Shes very well trained though, I can ride a horse up a main road and she will be offlead and will stick to the left of the horse.
