Leash training is an essential skill for puppies to learn early on. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you leash train your pup effectively:
1. Introduce the Collar/Harness and Leash
Start by letting your puppy wear a lightweight collar or harness around the house.
Allow them to get used to the feel of it before attaching the leash.
Reward with treats and praise to create a positive association.
2. Get Them Comfortable with the Leash
Attach the leash indoors and let your puppy drag it around under supervision.
Play with them while they wear the leash so it feels normal.
3. Teach a Cue for Walking
Use a verbal cue like “Let’s go” before starting a walk.
Reward with treats when your puppy follows along.
4. Start Indoors or in a Low-Distraction Area
Begin leash training in a quiet area where your puppy can focus.
Practice short walks in the backyard or inside before heading outside.
5. Encourage Loose-Leash Walking
Hold a treat at your side and reward your puppy when they stay near you.
If they pull, stop walking and wait for them to return to your side.
6. Teach 'Leave It' and 'Heel' Commands
“Leave it” helps prevent distractions like sniffing or chasing.
“Heel” encourages your pup to walk beside you rather than pulling ahead.
7. Be Consistent and Patient
Short, frequent training sessions work best (5-10 minutes).
Reward good behavior and stay patient if they get distracted.
8. Practice in Different Environments
Once they’re comfortable, introduce new settings with more distractions.
Keep sessions positive and avoid overwhelming them.
