If you’re wondering, congratulations. You are on the right track and highly likely to get great results.
The vast majority of pet owners think that puppies and dogs know how to walk on the leash automatically or that the process is easy and that they don’t need help.
A lovely, relaxed leash walk is a skill, and it’s a skill you’ll need to train them in. It does come with challenges, but with the right help, the process is much easier than most people imagine.
It’s much simpler than dealing with an adult dog with no idea what constitutes an excellent loose leash or, even worse, an owner who has accidentally reinforced the leash by pulling it— quickly done. For example, when opting to follow online dog training techniques, most owners rapidly become overwhelmed with conflicting ideas and have no one to ask who understands their situation.
If you’d rather not spend the next 15 years or so pulling and tugging your dog around by its collar, it’s really important to get your pup used to the leash now.
So, when is the pup old enough TODAY? Yes, straight away, so don’t hesitate. The earlier, the better.
Puppies, as you’re probably all too aware of by now, can get over-excited, have a short attention plan, scratch and bite you or the leash, get overwhelmed by the environment, and so on! So don’t take your training to a chance. Seek help from an expert.
