Puppy biting leash

[mattrd]

My brother has a lab puppy. Every time he puts it on a leash the puppy wants to grab and bite the leash. Is there anyway to correct this or is this just a faze?

they all do this, keep at it... he will get comfortable with it. Just apuppy deal.

Good Luck!

If its a real problem putting pepper sauce on various items dogs like to chew will prevent it.

Or get a chain leash.....that help us.

The puppy quickly figures out that the leash is getting in the way of his having fun and freee reign to roam.

Much like the puppy who constantly gets tangled up in your feet, the leash muncher is saying "HEY DUDE! I'm in charge of this walk"

Its just a phase really - part of the process of the pup learning his boundaries and manners. My new little lab just discovered grabbing the leash last night when Mrs. Jackpine was taking him for a walk. 8 weeks old and already he thinks he's got all the answers!

Not that this has anything to do with the thread topic, but just wondering if the Jackpine in your name refers to where you live. We went on a couple of DIY bear hunts northeast of Duluth, and one of our best bait sites was off a small dirt path called Jackpine road. Just wondering...
