My puppy always bites the leash when we take her on it. She growls, not menacingly, but strongly and bites and pulls and continues. She does not stop and I am not sure how to deal with this situation. Any thoughts?
Re: leash biting Again, she is trying to play with you. You have to show her that biting the leash and so on will get her nowhere. Stand still and refuse to move forward when she is misbehaving. Don't give her eye contact and don't talk to her. AS SOON AS SHE IS STILL, even if only for a moment, praise her and move on. She will learn that walking without biting the leash is the way to get a walk, and that biting the leash and acting up doesn't get her the reward she wants (which is an exciting walk).
Re: leash biting I should have added in my other post to your other thread. Can she still go to class. She is still so young and has a lot to learn. We are still going and will be going for a long time yet. We both get so much out of it Emma (and Meg 6 months)
