To train a puppy to walk on a leash, you can follow these steps:

  1. 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.

  2. Encourage the puppy to follow you by using treats or toys as motivation. Reward them for walking beside you on the leash.

  3. 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.

  4. Practice short walks in a quiet, familiar environment to help the puppy get used to walking on a leash.

  5. 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.
