To train a puppy to walk on a leash, you can follow these steps:
-
Start by introducing the puppy to the leash and collar in a positive way. Let them sniff and get used to it before attaching it to them.
-
Encourage the puppy to follow you by using treats or toys as motivation. Reward them for walking beside you on the leash.
-
Keep the leash loose and allow the puppy to explore while walking, but gently redirect them back to your side if they pull or stray too far.
-
Practice short walks in a quiet, familiar environment to help the puppy get used to walking on a leash.
-
Be patient and consistent with training, and use positive reinforcement to encourage good leash-walking behavior.
With time and practice, your puppy will learn to walk on a leash comfortably and obediently.
