Hopefully this should help. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. -Josh Billings

When you are walking your pup on a leash keep him looking up at you. If he is looking at you wondering when he will be rewarded, he is not chewing his leash.

Your dog is chewing on the leash because it is more interesting than you are.You must first develop a relationship of some type with your pup.A relationship built around attention, and rewards for it. The leash is not your main concern. Get your pup excited about you and the leash will take care of its self.I agree with Chuck on this, for once. Stop making excuses for your dog and start training it!
