Find a leash that he will be comfortable with. Leash training and walking will be a lot interesting as well, if you take him to a different environment where he can have fun and be distracted.<br /><br /><a href="http://sureswivel.com/" rel="nofollow">Mariah Blum</a><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062116138652269656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812399068967689986.post-56272407240068399262012-09-06T20:54:03.986-04:002012-09-06T20:54:03.986-04:00I soaked my puppy's leash in bitter apple and ...I soaked my puppy's leash in bitter apple and the next day when it was dry he continued on as if it hadn't been soaking in bitter apple at all.

I think he thought he was walking me in those instances.<br /><br />I'd try practicing drop it/take it with the leash at home. I think this is the sort of thing that just takes practice and perhaps he will grow out of it as he gets older & calms down. If using taste deterrents, mix them up. Sometimes, dogs grow accustomed to a certain taste and it's less effective than before. I'd bet good money that Fozzie is one of those dogs where the impulse to do something will outweigh a yucky taste.

She needed s lot of exercise too. <br /><br />It's funny to read about these nasty tasting deterrents and find that they worked with Fozzie and Finn. They didn't AT ALL with Georgia! When she chewed through the yard and house, we tried rubbing and spraying everything with bitter apple and chilli oil and she just laughed in our faces. I remember how hard it was to spray the chilli oil. I would hold my nose as best I could but still be wheezing and coughing. She'd accompany me on these spraying rounds and would literally just stand there without a care in the world while I was doubled up with tears running down my face.

But with the exception of Sam, the other kids display varying degrees of reactivity. Owen's the worse. My dad is always looking for other dogs approaching, even if they're across the street. Owen will rear up. Sometimes my dad has to pick him up and hold him. But apparently he's better when he's with one of the daytime dog-walkers. My mom and dad will keep working with him as I'm sure you will with Fozzie. We like Pagent and hope that Pagent finds a home with loving and understanding humans.My Dog Sam - Ruptured Diskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274823343453883938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812399068967689986.post-79577800449592510682012-06-25T12:14:14.566-04:002012-06-25T12:14:14.566-04:00Spraying it with something is a good idea.

We have spray we bought at the pet store which is just like nail polish remover - we put it on the corners of the rugs Finn was chewing on and now she doesn't even touch it.Finnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14581936860329336158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812399068967689986.post-30849945229524785342012-06-25T09:27:30.997-04:002012-06-25T09:27:30.997-04:00Believe it or not my trainer just ordered chili pe...Believe it or not my trainer just ordered chili pepper flavored leashes. Who knew? What about treats, will he take a treat when this is happening?<br /><br />My other thought is to actually TEACH him to take the leash and drop it, perhaps then he will not grab it when HE wants, only when you do. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812399068967689986.post-77130964549426112722012-06-25T08:59:17.244-04:002012-06-25T08:59:17.244-04:00Ahh...this was my biggest problem with Miss M when...Ahh...this was my biggest problem with Miss M when I first adopted her. She would get so excited when a person looked at her, or spoke, (which happens often because we live in the city) she would redirect and start thrashing the leash. I really didn't know anything and I didn't have the great network we have now, so I used to try doing the calming things (grabbing her chest and dangling her legs or sitting on her..definitely not ideal or recommended). We did have to do every walk as a training walk too, sometimes with her in a backpack. Aging helped also. Interested to see how it goes!Two Pitties in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04694420319336839807noreply@blogger.com
