Walking Dog On Lead

[flipbull 1,139]

As gnipper says wouldn't worry at that age, wait for pup to be jabbed. I tried a lead at about 9 weeks with my pup and he wouldn't entertain it. Waited to get all his jabs done, then got a mate round with his dog and that was it sorted. Then used to let him off lead, put him back on over and over again, and now it's just normal for him.

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

Fool.

 

A pup of that age is going to be scared of new things if they are not instantly pleasurable. Many pups of that age are still with their dams and littermates. Personally I wouldn't be attempting to lead train it just yet. Get a really good bond with the pup. Play with it at home, in your yard or garden.

Give it a couple of weeks, then take it outside of your home. Just hold it in your arms, let it see, hear and smell all the strange sights and sounds for a bit. Then take it back in. This is if you live in a street/town.

 

Pups learn by exploring, going a little further from the 'nest' each day, but always rushing back to safety every few minutes so they fix the road home in their brain map. You should do the same for the pup. First day, just sit outside your house and let the pup watch stuff go by. Second day, put the pup on a lead and take a couple of steps. Let the pup sit still if it wants to. Sooner or later it will start sniffing about and get up. Don't pull it on the lead. Let the pup make the first move. When it does, praise it a lot. Let the pup dictate where it goes, you follow, within reason: obviously not out into the road!

 

Once the pup is familiar with its surroundings, and feels that it is in control of where it goes, and no longer frightened of the huge unknown world around it, you will find it much easier to encourage it to follow you.

 

Don't forget: a tiny pup in a world where everything towers above it, sounds from things unseen, smells that assault its senses: like being an ant in a world of giants. Give it time.

at that age especially with that breed always be gentle and patient and slowly build its confidence, not just for walking on a lead either or you will never bond properly with it

if I was a dog I would certainly rather be raised by skycat than you no matter which side of the bed she got up from. are you really rough on your dogs? I have seen previous posts advising kicking and beating dogs, surely you are taking the pi$s

The man is a sicko ... He was banned from keeping all animals in the uk so he moved to Spain where the laws are far more relaxed ... I would hate to think what life his poor dog has ..........

I was not banned ffs I was merely asked to be less strict and corporol punishmenty. Hence why I moved here so I can get a dog and beat him so bad he pisses himself when I look at him funny

I heard you was so sick the government asked you to leave the country even have you the air fair ,but that's just a rumour I heard.and that's how they start lol

If a dog doesn't scream and drop to the floor in a puddle of it's own piss as soon as you move towards it quickly, you've not trained it right imo
