I didn't say went away, but it did improve and he stopped all mouthy-ness. Our younger one still likes to take things in her mouth, she doesn't bite down though. She generally has a toy in her mouth whenever she's excited. She was one to take the leash in her mouth as well. I didn't cancel the walk, just stopped and told her to drop it and we didn't move forward until she had. No tug of war, no shaking, just drop it. Even at 4 years of age, if something really excites her on a walk, she wants something in her mouth and the leash is usually what she grabs.
Lucy is a cutie!
