Some people will walk their dogs on a flexi lead as a form of control possibly because they're likely to chase cyclists, runners or other dogs but they need a greater level of exercise than walking on a short lead provides .... you may find the result is you cut the lead and end up being chased and potentially the dog running under your wheels or being bitten ... not convinced that's the result you'd be hoping for .
