I know this is an old thread but I need advice on leash training for a very young pup - 9 weeks. I have the opposite problem as above. I can't get her to walk period. She sits and chews the leash. I tell her no bite and try to encourage her with a treat but she doesn't get it. She justs sits, chews her leash and refuses to budge. It's only been a few days but I need something else to try. She hated the harness at first but I have gotten her use to wearing that. I put it on for short times periods throughout the day.
I plan to start an obedience class in mid-Feb. but I was trying to go ahead and get this one underway. Suggestions?
Let me add: when she goes out to potty she hasn't been wearing a leash. I'm right with her in a fenced back yard.
