I think riding with dogs is great. I'm glad to hear you want a leash.
We mtb with a guy who always brought his dog. The dog was so good. She listened and responded to whistle commands. She was a GS Pointer, energy out the wazoo.... One afternoon she got ahead of him, ran into the srteet and was killed by a car. It was the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen. Ride with and enjoy the dog, but please protect her.. No matter how well trained, they have the natural instinct to chase and that sometimes overides their training.
Sorry to sound preachy, I'd hate for anyone to lose a member of the family just to enjoy a bike ride.
