My dog loves to go out and chase the outdoor cats but seeing the door open isn't a cue for him to go out but seeing me grab the leash. If we're going outside leashless it means we aren't taking him for a walk.
he likes to chase indoor cats, have no interest or rather feared of outdoor ones (for a good reason)
cue to go out is usually me putting on shoes, but if he sees a leash - he will refuse to cooperate and start pretending that he doesn't want to walk until I snap it to the collar.
Probably because I often walk with him without leash, but only right behind our house, there are almost no people walking there, except for other dog owners.
