Good questions
Before you begin.
Should I use a collar or a harness?
Many owners start with a well-fitted harness. Ask a trainer which suits your puppy.
Why does my puppy stop and refuse to walk?
New gear and new places can feel scary. Go slowly and reward small steps.
Are retractable leashes a good idea?
For training, a standard leash gives more control. Check posted leash rules wherever you walk.
How long should walks be?
Short for young puppies. Ask your veterinarian about age-appropriate exercise.
