| I'm currently teaching Bella to walk on a leash. I tell her 'heel' and give her a gentle tug (I use a harness, not a collar) and bribe her along with a treat. After a lil bit, I stop, and when she sits, she gets her treat. If she doesn't sit on her own, I 'make' her sit by pulling the treat back over her nose and gently pushing her bottom down. And don't forget lotsa praise.

| Let her get used to the leash by having her drag it around the house when you can supervise. When she gets comfortable with that, just pick it up and let her lead so there is no tugging. Also use the treats if need be. She will get the hang of it.
