Dog leashes: retractable or fixed-length?

Background

Retractable leashes give dogs a bit more freedom to sniff in open areas and make walks feel relaxed. Critics point out that the line can suddenly spool out toward traffic or strangers and offers less control, so they recommend a short fixed leash. Some owners simply switch depending on where they walk.
