I depends on where we are. On leash if other dogs or people are about. Off if we are alone.

I hike with both dogs on a leash. Regular 6 foot leash. I have tried the long retractable types, but found the dogs didn't really take advantage of them anyway. I don't have problem with recall, however I like to see the dogs disciplined while we are walking. When we take a break I let them sniff around, and at camp at night I don't tie them down. My biggest reason for leashing is other dogs, and hikers.
