a pune cu botul pe labe
Posibil ca "lead" să aibă sensul de "leash" aici. La o căutare "jerk [pronume] lead", Google dă rezultate majoritar canine. De ex:
If he delays, jerk his lead gently. When he reaches you, give the command, 'Sit'. Remember to praise and pat your dog. What sort of dog should I get? ...
In the meantime do not jerk her lead as you could cause neck and back problems. She needs a wider collar to ease the strain on her neck when out. ...

i-am arătat noi meserie
sau "i-am arătat de ce sîntem în stare". Variaţiuni pe tema asta. Cred că e un termen legat de dresajul la cîini, dar n-am găsit exact sensul. :)

a-i veni de hac
Având în vedere contextul, aşa aş traduce + expresia în sine nu am reuşit să o găsesc pe nicăieri.
Dacă vrei o variantă mai cuminte, poţi să zici "i-am arătat noi !"
HTH.
