How to leash train a puppy who refuses to move?
I got my puppy last week, he's a havanese and almost three months old. I decided to start leash training him so I can start walking him outside soon. I have never owned a dog before so I don't really know how to start but I did watch and read many many videos/articles on how to leash train a puppy. I followed their examples but it just isn't working. My dog tends to just lay there (And won't budge at all) until I walk about ten meters away and then it charges at me. It also goes crazy when it doesn't get to go where it wants to, which often means to my neighbor's yard. I don't know how to move on from here, please help.
Clip a leash onto his collar or harness and then have a high value treat such as a hotdog, cheese, chicken, etc and lure him. When you have him clipped to a leash I would suggest You start with a harness just to get him used to having something attached to him and then take the treat (rip them into smaller pieces) and while walking put the treat in front of him and repeatedly do that until he is comfortable walking on the leash. I would suggest you first start indoors where there are less distractions and then go outside. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask me. Hope this helps.
