[PyrNet-L] Leashes in mouths

[Bluebonnet <bluebonnet_72@yahoo.com>]

   LOL about the leash in mouth.  My first pyr, who
was different, use to bite me all the time.   It
wasn't  agressive, just sort of play mouthing, but it
hurt.  I had huge bruises all over me.  This was
before I knew anything about pinch collars, gentle
leaders, or any training at all.  
   Walking Spooky required courage.  It was normal for
a walk to consit of three steps and then Spooky
jumping and grabbing my arms three or four times, and
then three more steps.  I finally learned to put the
leash in Spooky's mouth.  With the leash in his mouth,
he couldn't bite me!  I was not happy when the trainer
told me he wasn't suppose to chew on the leash.  I
thought, "but it is so much better then the
alternative!"  
   Thank heavens, for a truly wonderful trainer who
has given me a lot of alternatives besides feeding my
dog the leash.
