Lead Chewing.

[Mosh]

Bruno, our new jrt is settling in well He's a little monster but is quickly learning the rules, like going outside to the toilet and not on my feet! Hes eating well and loves cuddles, went to sleep in my lap for 2 hours this afternoon.
He adores tennis balls and things to rag around as well and loves his food and goodies!

However, on walks he tends to chew on his lead. It mainly happens after we've stopped to cross a road (teaching him to wait is going quite well!) and I've given him the lets go signal he grabs the lead and pulls.
If he does grab the lead, I go "Ah Ah" and stop and wait, I don't pull back and make it into a game, I just wait and as soon as he lets go, he gets lots of praise and we carry on walking. Hes getting the idea but is there anything else I can do?

He does walk nicely on the lead other than this, not exactly to heel but no pulling or trying to run away either.

Cover lead with anti chew type stuff.... or use a metal one (although could damage teeth).

As you are "check him and tell him "leave it" the jrt in my rehoming post did the exact same thing and I demonstrated to the owner how to stop it immediately and NOT encourage it, I checked him firmly and told him "leave it" he immediately stopped. Weather she has the conviction to keep it up (will be interesting)

Smear lead with Vicks vapour rub. Dogs hate the smell of eucyptus. Personally I won't use a metal lead as they hurt the hands and are impossible to undo if the knot
