spice_1 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Hey guys I'm trying to leash train my puppy but he keeps biting the leash every time I put it on him, is there a way I can stop him biting the leash? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashka Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 You could put Vicks vapour rub on the lead, it generally stops pups chewing whatever you put it on. You could also get a light chain lead with a handle. Don't forget the praise when pup doesn't chew the lead. General rule ¾ praise ¼ commands. Have fun with your pup.

Salukifan Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Ignore puppy chewing lead. Keep walking. Most pups start to focus on what's in front of them very quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katcha Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 My puppy grew out of this quite quickly. We just ignored it but it wasn't all the time, so the Vicks is probably worth a try. We also noticed our puppy was less likely to bite leash when we got him a harness to attach leash instead of his collar, but I wouldn't get one just for that reason.

sheena Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Use a lead that has a length of chain on it where he is inclined to bite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Buy a GOOD QUALITY finelink chain lead :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willem Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Ignore puppy chewing lead. Keep walking. Most pups start to focus on what's in front of them very quickly. That... ...and I wouldn't use vick or something else - it might stop the dog biting on it, but he might develop some serious aversion to the leash and that will increase your problems when you want to attach the leash.
