Have that issue before. Not funCassie chewed through her leash yesterday while she was 4' away from me and we had a frantic game of old guy chasing an elusive Husky pup around the neighborhood. She finally caught on that she was in big trouble and headed to my back door. I live on a dead-end street, but she initially headed toward the busy 4 lane road at the intersection. Thank goodness I got her turned around.
