Dog Training: Teaching Your Puppy to Love His Collar and Leash


Introduction:
Training your puppy to walk comfortably with a collar and leash is foundational for all future training. Until your puppy embraces these tools, progressing with other training can be challenging.

Selecting the Right Collar:
The journey begins with choosing a well-fitted collar. The collar should be appropriately weighted and sized?"not too light to break, nor too heavy to cause discomfort. Use a tape measure or string to find the right neck size, ensuring it's snug but not tight. Collars usually come in two-inch increments, so rounding up is advisable. For example, a 13-inch neck would require a 14-inch collar.

Introducing the Collar:
Once you've chosen the perfect collar, let your puppy wear it around the house. It's normal for him to paw at, whine, or try to remove the collar initially. Don’t discourage this; give him time to adjust. Allow the puppy to wear it continuously for a few days to become accustomed to the feeling.

Introducing the Leash:
After your puppy is comfortable with the collar, start introducing a lightweight leash. Attach it to his collar and let him wander around the house, supervised, ensuring he doesn’t get it snagged on anything, which could frighten him.

Initially, only attach the leash for a few minutes at a time during fun times like play or meals. This helps create positive associations. Keep the leash near his food and water bowls to encourage curiosity and diminish fear.

Getting Used to the Leash:
Once he's accustomed to the leash, hold the end while he moves freely. If he reaches the end, let him explore and react naturally. This exercise is about acclimatization, not control.

Gradual Transition:
Before attempting to lead your puppy, ensure he's entirely at ease with the collar and leash. Start indoors or in familiar, safe spaces. As he grows more comfortable, slowly introduce brief outings, progressively increasing their length. Remember, every puppy is different?"some adapt quickly, while others need more patience and time.
