A leash is a tool for keeping your pets close to you, especially when using stairs or portals. You may only have 2 leashed pets at one time. A cursed leash cannot be removed and will strangle the pet if it gets too far away (for example, because it hit a teleport trap). A noncursed leash will harmlessly snap loose if you become too far removed from your pet.
A leash is useful for curse-testing items with the aid of a pet - it makes it possible to drag the pet over the item to see whether it "moves only reluctantly". It can also be used to encourage pets to steal from shops, by dragging them out of the shop while they're still holding an item. The leash can also make it easier to displace your pet into a polymorph trap.
A leashed dog might "whine" if there is a trap nearby, even if you have not yet detected the trap. A leashed cat will "whimper", and other pets can make appropriate nervous sounds around traps.
If you move too far away from your leashed pet, it may "yowl" or make some other angry noise. Be aware that this can wake up sleeping monsters. Pay attention when your pet is eating, or when going through doorways or around corners. If you move much faster than your pet, this will happen frequently.
Encyclopedia entry
They had splendid heads, fine shoulders, strong legs, and
straight tails. The spots on their bodies were jet-black and
mostly the size of a two-shilling piece; they had smaller
spots on their heads, legs, and tails. Their noses and eye-
rims were black. Missis had a most winning expression.
Pongo, though a dog born to command, had a twinkle in his
eye. They walked side by side with great dignity, only
putting the Dearlys on the leash to lead them over crossings.
