[JoeyP]

He's only 8 wks old ....
Wait until he's fully vaccinated
His immunity isn't built up enough yet to handle some of the stuff that's out there '

But when you do start training him for leash walking
You can't just pop a cllar on him and expect him to walk
This is a strange thing that's around his neck ... a very new sensation

Put the collar on first ... get him used to having the collar on
Once that;s done ... do the same with his leash
let him walk around with the leash dragging after him
It will get him used to the feel and the weight of it
When he's used to that
pick up the leash at times and just hold it ... and then start tugging on it
and you'll see he'll slide right into the walking along with you

When you do finally get to this stage
and you want him to walk .... coax him along with a treat
