hey, slick! :--)

have U tried laying the leash on the floor, and clicking 1st look-At, then approach, then nose or paw (preferably nose, but TOUCH in any case), the leash?

or holding it folded into a 2-ft long coil, and holding it acoss Ur body like an exercise band, offering it to the dog to be looked-at, sniffed, nosed, mouthed?
good luck,
--- terry
