| Puppy Vs. THE LEASH! Ok so I know it isnt natural for dogs to like leashes, but how in the world do I get Ella used to one? She is 11 weeks and hasnt had all of her shots yet, so we dont go out front. I try practicing with the leash in the yard and in the house, but she HATES it. She lays down and I end up kind of dragging her. I feel bad but I didnt want to let her win so I just kept draggin her around for a bit, and then I realized it wasnt working at all, so I stopped. She will take ZERO steps on her own. I have tried luring her with a treat that she loves and she still refuses to move. She looks at the treat and whines but will not walk. I think I am going about this the wrong way. What do I do to get her to walk????????????? Help please!

| Easy as A , B , C . For short period of time , you put the leash on the harness and let the puppy drag it . Don't try to pull on the leash . |

| I definetly agree. You can even try just letting her walk along with the harness on, and then add the leash.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Attach the leash on her harness in the house. Let her have her hissy fits & drag it around for awhile. Repeat 2-3 times a day. When she gets used to it, ask her to walk with you holding the leash in the house. Once she's done that a few days, take her outside. It's a process, not a quick fix. All puppies go through it. They are never born with the ability wear all this 'stuff' we put on them & expect them to be well behaved walkers. We have to be patient while they learn. One step at a time. Don't rush her. Good luck!
