Good point. We have retractable leashes as well, and when they are on the hook by the door, the dogs can't get to them.

Yes, that is exactly what I need. Yes.

We have one of those retractable leashes. Yes, he could still chew up the case, but it's easier to put the leash up on a shelf or table and not have to worry about it dangling down where the dog can reach it.

What happens is that once in a while, someone will walk him and fail to properly secure the leash afterward. Like today, Chloe walked him and put the leash back in a place on the desk where he could get it. Not high enough/hidden enough. So he loves his leash, you know, and he just found it and chewed it right up. I was sitting in the room with him when this happened and thought he was still chewing on his authorized chewing thingy. WRONG! This happens once every few weeks.

I'm sorry... so he's eating his leashes WHILE you're walking him?

Dog Leash

Does anyone have a recommendation for a difficult-to-destroy dog leash? Cost is no object. Right now I'm at "buy cheapest leash available because it will be destroyed in due time anyway". I would invest in one I felt confident was harder to ruin. My dog is insane and, as can be expected, reaches a kind of peak insanity as the work-week progresses, gets back to sane by Sunday afternoon, and then makes the steady descent into leash-eating again. He has had three walks today and flushed out three small animals, so it's not like the little squirrel-hunter is bored.*

However, I might add he is the cutest dog on earth. Dang it, I came to an insight recently that he looks like a doggy version of King Julien. His little butt/leg area is exactly like a ringtailed lemur's.

*Sorry, four walks. I forgot the earliest one, probably as I was in a haze at the time.
