McKinleyBhoy1 4 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I am having a bit of trouble walking my pup on a lead. Without the lead he walks right by my side but when I put the lead on him he basically just sits down and won't move. I don't really want to drag him because this could make him hate the lead. Does anyone have any tips? Quote Link to post
MickyB 327 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Food, there's not many dogs that wont follow chicken Quote Link to post
flipbull 1,139 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Take your dog out with another dog keep both dogs on lead . Your pup should follow. Meant to say it probably won't even know it has it on, and if it does realise and refuse to move, bring the other dog on lead close by and start again and pup should follow.

TOMO 26,122 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 As above easiest way is with another dog,,the usually want to follow other dogs Quote Link to post
LURCHER 83 7 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 Drop lead on floor and walk off pup should follow then praise him/her slowly picking lead up and encouraging pup to walk on with maybe a fluffy toy or bit of food this has worked for me but so has the above suggestions Hope this helps 1 Quote Link to post
nans pat 2,575 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 leave the lead on him out the back 10mins couple a days Quote Link to post
the big chief 3,099 Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 all i do with mine is play with them in the back yard then clip the lead on let the pup walk around with it then just pick it up and walk where the pup walks at 1st then show the way you want to go if it stops dont pull it just wait this is the best way i found and works all the time 1 Quote Link to post

terryd 8,411 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Pop him down some where interesting soon start wandering about and don't worry it wont be long before you have the next problem stopping the bugger dragging you up the road 1 Quote Link to post
gnipper 6,466 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 At 7 weeks I wouldn't be worried about it. Let him settle in etc and then worry about the lead after he's jabbed and can go out. 2 Quote Link to post
delboy_187 902 Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'd rather drag won't get to far before shell walk . Would you lift your dog over a fence gate etc . But as above out with another dog Quote Link to post
