Sound familiar?

Your puppy pulls, bites the leash or freezes on walks.

You’re in good company. This guide gives you a plan instead of guesswork.

  • Your puppy pulls, zig-zags or lunges.
  • It chews the leash instead of walking on it.
  • It freezes, sits down or refuses to move.
  • You’re not sure whether it’s training, fear or discomfort.

Educational content, not veterinary advice.

This guide is general education. It cannot diagnose your puppy. Sudden changes, signs of pain or illness, or any aggression that worries you need a veterinarian or a qualified behavior professional. All numbers in the guide (times, steps, milestones) are starting points, not guarantees.

Questions

About this guide.

Do I need special equipment?

The guide walks you through introducing a collar or harness and a leash gradually. It doesn’t require a particular brand.

Can I start before my puppy’s vaccines are finished?

The early weeks start at home and in the yard. For when public places are safe, ask your vet; Book 5 explains what to ask.
