Puppy tangled in leash

My dogs get the leash under their legs sometimes. I usually find out by the leash being in a rather awkward position. I hold lower down on the leash or use a shorter leash  . |
| Both of mine get so excited sometimes (particularly right before the walk) that they get themselves all twisted up. All 3 of us had tripping incidents. However, I think I'm the only one that ever had a real injury out of it! |
| Another way to help prevent leash entanglement is to not give the dog much leash slack- try keeping the leash in an "L" shape. This works well with my friend's puppies that I've walked (I've been practicing my dog walking skills- gotta keep em sharp!). If you keep the dog (roughly) on your left side- put the end of the leash in your right hand- and grasp the "extra" in your left (reverse for right side walkers). Obvioulsy, give the dog enough slack so as not to strangle, and you can let out/bring in leash as they explore around. But if you keep control of the "extra" leash amount, it SHOULD stay above the puppies neck where it belongs. Also a good way to control them if they decide to try to "make a break for it".
Of course- that is until they walk through your legs- then watch out!
