Reminds me of passing a poor area of town, where people shouldn't even have animals....what is the point of having a dog, if it's not a loving member of the family? I'm with you...chains should be outlawed and banned from petstores...totally rediculous at best! karenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517697125324333905.post-18962344216338636862011-02-21T09:29:47.552-08:002011-02-21T09:29:47.552-08:00Anonymous; I don't think using a chain leash j...Anonymous; I don't think using a chain leash just so that your dog won't chew your leash is appropriate. I'd rather teach them that chewing the leash is inappropriate.<br /><br />For most dogs grabbing and/or chewing the leash is rewarding. But, if you talk to a trainer who knows what they are talking about they can help stop the behavior fairly quickly.Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589104200839188087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517697125324333905.post-10899431812436455722011-02-21T08:24:21.198-08:002011-02-21T08:24:21.198-08:00Using a chain leash to decrease the habit of chewi...Using a chain leash to decrease the habit of chewing on leash is inappropriate? Of course, you can bribe the dog or teach the dog that there is reward in not chewing. However for some dogs, the chewing and leash grabbing is just self-rewarding. Would you be opposed to this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517697125324333905.post-66653258202700872342011-02-20T15:37:29.386-08:002011-02-20T15:37:29.386-08:00How eloquent.

A chain is unthinkable.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08559247236894768605noreply@blogger.com
