I am not sure about the leash thing. But you know your dog better then I do. My dog is more aggressive on a leash then off. I think she feels she is protecting me when she is on the leash or something. When introducing a new kitten to our dogs. We always keep the kitten in a room where the litter box is going to be. Then after the kitten being in the room for a day so the dog can smell her and the KITTEN can smell the dog. We let them see each other. The kittens are always afraid of the dog at first and growl/hiss at them. Some how the kittens all end of thinking Mya is there mother. They tend to avoid Jessie (minpin). Jessie gets to rough and we have to keep an eye on here when the cats were kittens.

Good luck.
