| Leash Training How do I get my Puppy to walk in his leash? He hates it. I have to pull on him to walk cause he just won't walk when he's on it. Help! |

| First when teaching a puppy to walk on a leash you should not pull on the leash. Take a step or two encouraging the puppy to come with you with your voice and a treat. Never pull. When the puppy moves towards you, make a big deal of how pleased you are with this. Only work on this for short periods of time to start with. Please make sure to use a well fitting harness only. Never hook a leash to a collar as this can cause serious problems with these little ones. |

| Praise is just so important for teaching these little guys and gals when they're young. I remember potty training Cookie I'd act like she just cured cancer every time she squatted down and peed or pooped outside. "Oh, you peed outside like the big girls do!" and then a parade around the house. And same thing for the leash. "Oh look at my leash girl! My Cookie monster knows how to use the leash! Oh that's a good yorkie! Gimme yorkie kiss"
