When it says “dog on lead” put your dog on lead. I have my dog on lead and I am walking in the leaded part of the park for a reason. —Ruler

Leash?
AN ODD LOCUTION
The “leaded part of the park?”
Is Ruler a native English speaker? I initially thought there was lead to be found underground in a certain park of the park but then, by means of a conceptual leap, I twigged to his meaning. But why, one wonders, can one not use the “leashed part of the park”? Why does this also sound like an odd locution? Further reflection is required.

A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Maybe their pet is unleaded.
I don’t think lead is good for pets. If you keep them on a leash, you’ll keep them away from the lead.
Blimey, my dog got off the lead and was hit by a lorry in front of the Tesco, mate!
we’re sounding like rubes around here folks. lead/leash what’s the big deal

and please don’t use those retractable leashes, useless things
useless and worse, dangerous. they TEACH your dog to pull and if your hand slips off the handle, that poor dog will be running forever with a clacking thing chasing him.
