: to keep a tighter leash on you
: =a *physical* restraint?
: what could the restraint be in such context?
: thanks
I think it is a metaphorical 'leash' (I hate that word, but that is just me.) I take the phrase to mean that the person in question is closely supervised - not allowed to act independently.
