I have the same problem with my 6mos Yorkie. He hated the leash. We
Started going to puppy training and the trainer had me associate the Leash with a treat and praise. She had me pick up the leash a few times a day, roll it on the floor, drag it and have the leash touch my pup on the head/body. Praise and treat for every touch/drag/ etc. This really worked. It did take like 4 days then he started walking with the leash attached/dragging. After that she had me take small steps and put a treat right next to my heel. He would follow as I was holding the leash but keeping no pressure. Anyway that is where we are now. He is taking longer strides and feels more confident around the leash. It’s all baby Steps. I hope any of that helps! |
