Wes,
Because she wants to teach Quincy to come unequivocally on command, she was training him in the safety of the fenced back yard. Quincy, being a bit young and mischievous, was coming close then running away in a "chase-me" challenge. So she clipped a short leash on him so she could step on it or grab it as he came close. He immediately learned to gather the dragging leash in his mouth first, so it wasn't available when he came close and tried to play catch-me. Darn pups.
That sounds like me trying to teach my pups to let me put the collar and leash on them. They would grab the collar when I laid it down and run off with it.
