Mine stay with me out of love, I have 2 neurotic gliders that are jumpy when out of their cage, but once they are with us, when we leave the house, they stay right with us, We have devoted a lot of time, and I am a firm believer in not leashing a glider. The other alternatives to love training, is pouches.. I never have liked leashes, the kind that fit around their bodies contrict their membrane. I have gliding gliders. If they want to glide they would snap out their membrane and take the chances of tearing them, they are so very thin and delicate. This has happened not with mine but with others. The kind that goes around their necks, also have been known to tighten up on them. With the neck kind. I just think of how it would feel for someone to jerk me back by a necklace.. They really don't have much of a jaw difference from their neck. so finding a happy point of tightness gets tooo close to being to tight or too loose. Just my opinion based on what I have heard and tried myself. I too tried to place a leash on my neurotic one.. and he got out of each and everyone, I refused to go any tighter with them than what i did.
