While walking my dog, he can be walking along quite nicely and obediently in the heel position then suddenly he will turn and grab the leash in his mouth and growl and pull and jump.  I have to yell no, jerk the leash from his mouth and make him go into a down stay.  He is an 8 month old american pitbull terrier.  He is obedience trained and this is the only problem i seem to have with him.  Is it a dominance challenge.  Is he frustrated walking in the heel position?  My dog is not free fed, he eats after me, is made to sit and wait before going through doors or in and out of the car.  I would appreciate any help with this. Thank you.

How many times a day do I need to walk my dog to keep her healthy, and how long (time wise)?

I think your dog just wants to have some fun. He may like the response he gets when he grabs the leash. Next time he does it, just completely ignore him like nothing is going on, and he'll get bored and stop.
