Training Your Puppy To Walk With A Leash

First, you will need to have your puppy get used to a collar, and it has to be sufficiently tight that your pet will not be able to easily slip it off, but not too tight.  Ideally, a couple of your fingers should still be able to go between your pet’s neck and the collar always.  Should your puppy fight the collar too much, try offering him a treat when he reacts well but keep on walking when he does not. If your new puppy is quite high-strung, try a type of leash that securely wraps around his body as if hugging him. This should offer your pet a sense of security.  For those who live in the city, never let your pet outside without his leash with you or another member of the family, or a friend holding on.

Schedules are essential when training

Even your pet’s schedule has to go through training. You will need to decide the frequency of your pet’s walks, naps, playtimes, mealtimes, and various other activities. Once your puppy learns the schedule, he will acclimate and will sometimes even alert you when it is time for food or to go out for his walk.
