Good questions
Before you begin.
When can a puppy start leash work?
Many start inside the home and yard right away. Ask your veterinarian about outings.
Collar or harness?
Either can work. A trainer can help you choose a fit that is comfortable and teaches well.
How long should walks be?
Short at first. Young puppies tire quickly and learn best in small bursts.
Why does my puppy sit down and refuse to walk?
It may be nerves or surprise. Go slowly, use treats and let a trainer guide the next steps.
