It was done with time limits several times a day until it became routine and expected. Next came holding the leash and walking with the puppy, and if all went well with the leash, training/walking began. At that stage you can give them treats and praise when they've done well. I'm not a professional trainer and there might be a better way to do this, but when you work in rescue, you work with what you have; a limited budget.  |
thank you i have tried this but will start again when we can finally get back on our walking routine daily. she just stands and looks at me like a looney! hehe. she has a stroller and i put her in that and walk keylo and cedric. she loves her stroller and will finally look out and smell the air and stuff so we are getting there.
