How to stop your dog from chewing through leashes
A few months ago, my dog Jack’s collection of bitten-in-half leashes had me so nuts I was imagining what he’d write if he could type up a Prefurr post:
Sometimes, with people-training as with life, it’s better to take the path of least resistance.
Take the problem of being pulled around by the neck by a leash. Why get into a battle of wills with a Bossy Biped when you’re blessed with sharp pointy teeth?
Just gnaw through that sucker while the human’s not looking and embrace your sweet, sweet freedom. If you can’t get through it in a quick, subtle snap while the human’s fussing with the door keys, settle down to the task when you can find a private moment. Under the table at a café, for instance. Or while waiting at traffic lights as semi-trailers roar past.
Oh yeah. This biting through the leash thing was really starting to get to me. Jack bit through fabric leads like they were made of liquorice. He approached the task of gnawing through leather leashes with the zeal of a prisoner tunneling to freedom with a teaspoon. It was expensive. It was annoying. And worst of all – it was getting dangerous.
And all that aside, training him out of it was making walk-time No Fun. This leash biting habit formed at a time when Jack was doing everything “wrong” when it came to conforming to modern human life. Jack’s instincts were telling him to get up to all kinds of doggy shenanigans, and all he was hearing from me was “NO!” “STOP!” “BAD DOG!” and “SO HELP ME GOD IF YOU CHEW THAT LEASH ONE MORE TIME I’M GOING TO EXTRACT ALL YOUR TEETH!”
That’s where the path of least resistance comes in. Guess what Irish found at the local two dollar shop?
