How do you stop pup chewing and tugging his lead as if it is a game on a walk?

[WTFwasthat]

tht's it really. He tends to do it at the beginning of a walk and once more during the walk. He clearly thinks it is enormous fun and it is very difficult to get him to drop it!

i think it's okay for them to do this isn't it? I've always encouraged my dogs to play with their leads.
If it's too excessive get him to do a bit of heel work, or some sits or downs to get him in a 'working' place.
Or maybe if he's a retrieving breed, he'd carry a ball or retrieving toy?

It depends, FiveHoursSleep. Patch will sit beautifully if I stop to talk to someone. Then he quietly chews right through his lead . We had to have a chain lead in between the collar and his actual lead. Now we use a harness it's better, because it's out of the way.

This links shows you how to deal with lead playing

Thanks cuebill. I've done two sessions and seeing big progress. He's happily munching on a Kong with his lead attached at the moment as well as a kind of lazy man's version!
