"On a tight leash" có từ leash là dây xích chó -> cụm từ này nghĩa là kiểm soát chặt chẽ mọi hành động của ai, không cho họ tự do làm việc họ muốn.
Ví dụ
At the time of its launch, British dramatists (nhà soạn kịch) were kept on a tight leash by commissioners – and Netflix was still in the business of mailing out DVDs of Hollywood films.
Tonally adroit, Schmitz offers the detachment of one who has been burned too often or too badly to dare to expect anything than more of the same. He keeps his performance on a tight leash, because Thom, one of millions of human husks (vỏ bên ngoài) barely holding on, is on one himself, lest he succumb (ngừng chống lại) to his "fear of fear".
Warner Bros. tends to keep its DC characters on a tight leash in its television adaptations (tài liệu phỏng theo).
