How to Teach a Puppy to Walk on a Leash

Teaching a Puppy to Walk on a Leash

Teaching a puppy to walk on a leash is an important part of their training. Start by getting your puppy used to wearing a collar or harness. Let them get comfortable with it by putting it on for short periods indoors. Once they are comfortable with the collar or harness, attach a lightweight leash. Let your puppy drag the leash around the house under your supervision to get used to the feeling. When they are comfortable with the leash, start practicing in a quiet, distraction-free area. Encourage your puppy to walk beside you with treats and praise. Use positive reinforcement to reward them for walking nicely on the leash. Keep training sessions short and fun to maintain your puppy's interest. Gradually increase the duration and complexity of your walks as your puppy gets more comfortable. Remember to be patient and consistent in your training.
