Get into an obedience class.

Go to your local pet store. They generally have a list of up and coming obedience classes that you can sign up for.

start by just putting the leash on and then feeding it treats so it will associate the leash with something positive. Then start moving a couple of steps and lure him with a treat so he will follow you and not pull away.

Well, if you wait too long, the dog will have a good chance of not being able to be trained. Perhaps try short walks at a time in a confiened area, like your backyard(if it’s fenced in)? I’m not expert though, so maybe places like ASPCA.com or PetSmart could give more info.

First, you will want to start with the lead VERY short. Do not allow the dog to run around with a long legnth of lead.

Second. start inside your home. Take a treat and coax the dog to walk forward a short distance while on the leash. When he does it without biting or chewing or pulling, give him the treat.

Continue this over longer and longer legnths. Once he is comfortable inside the house, move outside. Starting again with short distances in your yard, rewarding with treats and praise when he does it right :)

Good luck! Be patient and consistant, this wont happen over nightt but with work you’re sure to make great progress!

Obedience schools are a very good thing and can help. But the main thing that will help is that you and your dog go and practice and practice and make sure you let him or her know when he or she is doing something good by giving the dog a treat and make sure when the dog is not doing something right the dog also knows by whatever means you discipline your dog. Eventually the repitition will set in and your dog will please you.

He’s only 2 months old so this can only be expected of him. Just make sure you let him know gently what he can and cannot do so don’t let him chew on the leash.

At home, I would recommend letting him get used to wearing a leash and teaching him not to play with it, plus having your puppy tied to your waist is a great way to begin training him in other catagories such as potty training and it’s safe too so you always know where and what your puppy is up to. One he gets the hang of the leash you should start training him to walk outside. A gentle leash correction can be used to stop him from pulling but I’m stressing the gentle. He’s just a pup after all. Once he gets old enough I recommend the use of a Halti.

Hi there Haley Baley
I have had plenty of training experience as i have trained dogs Here in New Zealand for protection and obedience.
Your dog is still very young for this and will not be ready for another couple of months.
If you work on him/her for 10-15 mins at a time 3-4 times aday he will surely get used to it.
Its okay to leave his collar on all the time as long as its not a choker chain.
If you are working with a choker chain there is a right way to put it on his neck.
Make sure that its fitted on him in a way so that when you let go of the lead it falls away from his neck releasing the pressure.

That way he will know that when he stops pulling on it its a relief.

The three ps to use are perseverance patience and plenty of praise. They are a pack animal and love to part of the family.

If you want more help let me know i can send you to a great site that specializes in this. its owned by an American who is very good at training for home and the movie set.

I hope this helps you

Best of luck

choke chain to train a dog to walk. make her walk by you and every time she pulls away. pull on the chain. she will learn walking by you means not getting choked.
