I looked to see if there was a tip on this. I read another person had an issue walking his dog as the dog would bite the leash. I tired to find it again but not having luck.
Rogue wants to bite and tug and not let go of her leash. She will walk a bit with the leash in her mouth, but this is not ideal. Then she will sit or lie down.
I'm not expecting perfection on the leash. Getting her used to it now. My concern is herholding it in her mouth.
What should I do? I use distraction and the comment to leave it. All still new to her. Anything else I can add or try with this technique?

Shaping. Wait patiently until she does what you want. Mark, praise, and treat like crazy.

Re: Don't bite the leash that walks you...
I've started on teaching "take it" and pointing to a toy for him to take with us on walks. It works well so far. Sometimes he drops it during the walk so we go back and tell him "take it" and point for him to pick it up again. I'm no expert but this seems to kill two birds with one stone for us. No leash tugs, and take it, drop it gets practiced on our walks.

Re: Don't bite the leash that walks you...
does she know "leave it" if not, that is always a good one to teach. Also the taking a toy for walks is good.
Have a plan of what you want. if she does something you don't want her to do, teach it right in that moment. teach " leave it" and say it once and wait, have a toy to replace the leash with
