The differences between a tab and a tab are subtle.
People love their dogs like they love their children. However, puppies are generally not allowed to run around department stores and restaurants off leashes. In fact, in many cities, dogs must be on a leash. However, anyone who has received dog training has been told that dogs must be on non-retractable leashes so that owners can control them. The difference between a guide and a guide is part semantics, part attitude and very little else.
Serious dog trainers, breeders, and owners are considered alpha beasts. “Where I go, my dog follows” is the motto they seem to chant as they march around the perimeter of the park, Fido trotting obediently on his heels, just a little behind them. These people probably don’t like the idea of controlling their dogs, because it involves some cunning disobedience on the pup’s part.
CEOs, certain types of parents, and other human alphas would check leadership on a personality test that asked if they preferred to march to the front of the line or stand behind someone else. The people who lead set the pace, control the climate and make the decisions. Like anyone serious about being a canine person, this role should always be filled by a human pack leader, and that person knows the difference between a leash and a leash.
Correa is a verb and a noun. As a noun, it names that rope-like object that acts as the umbilical cord between a playful pooch and that dog’s person. As a verb, it suggests a slightly out of control puppy and an owner even more so; after all, there is no other reason for the creature to be so tightly bound and tied. One difference between a leash and a leash is that people with dogs that jump on strangers often use a leash.
There is another subtle difference between a guide and a guide, and that difference is social. The term lead suggests a better class of people, or at least a class of people who are considered more educated about dogs. It’s a bit of a noisy chant and carries the whisper of a subtext: people talking about necklaces just don’t get it. People who melt into a puddle of dog love when their little tarts want to lick them all over their faces are much more likely to prefer a homemade collar.
