- Patience is very important in the aspects of training a puppy. Even the most intelligent representative of the tailed beasts in a single day not understand that from him want and not get used to the new gear, feeling comfortable.
- Developed a system of incentives – the key to success. This method is the most efficient among all available, so why not use it and you not give the necessary stimulus for the baby to continue to learn many new skills? A system of rewards includes not only treats, but also fun games or hypocoristic words, the manifestation of love.
- A collar is recommended to put on before going outside. The first model of the collar should be as easy, simple, not to cause discomfort. Metal collars, decorated a large number of bells, misplaced during adaptation much more difficult and addictive. If even the most extraordinary attribute of concern to the dog, it is recommended to put it on just before going outside, with gradually increasing walks.

After a while, to replace the threads come satin ribbon or light collars. The puppies in most cases have your attribute with dignity, because the collar does not cause feelings of discomfort.
If your tailed friend had a similar experience, then go the same way – tie on baby light satin ribbon, which in the future can be replaced by a collar. Going to the pet store, where a wide range of products, give preference to a light nylon products, which are equipped with plastic buckles.

How to teach your dog to a leash?
After the puppy has settled in, you should gradually start to accustom to ammunition – tie outstanding and easy leash to have tailed him moving through the apartment.

Presenting a detailed picture of what happened, the puppy needs to run around the house for at least 20 minutes, paying absolutely no attention to the leash.
Three months later the dog’s life, she receives the first vaccination. Since there is a “new era” in the life of a puppy – regular walking on the street. It is extremely important to accustom your baby to the leash, starting with the first walks, as it is one of the most important safety issues the health and life of your pet. Do not flatter yourself that the dog is behind you, the first time he saw the street, the animal will see a lot of new, interesting and frightening that could cause him to run far away.
The first trips outside should be short. Highly recommend you walk over crumbs that the leash is not stretched, and the dog had not experienced feelings of discomfort. If a stupid kid is trying to take you in an unpleasant place, for example, to the garbage containers, then take it in hand and keep the treats, but in no case do not pull on the leash. Try to create all conditions for the head of a dog stereotype – “leash – time to walk”.
Next, more time-consuming step will be to accustom your pet to walk on a leash next to you without pulling it.

It is recommended to use a nylon leash and a children’s parfors Allow the dog to reach 2 – 3 meters from him, and then a sharp jerk back into position beside you. After a while even the slowest puppy realizes that pulling on the leash, there is discomfort.
- The second way is much more loyal. To implement it, is necessary whenever the tension of the collar to stop and wait until the baby will turn his attention to you. Kindly bomanite it, treat treat and change the trajectory of your movement. A few weeks later, the puppy should learn that when tension on the leash he can’t move faster, on the contrary, much slower.
Walk with the pet on a loose leash as long as he does not master the basic and basic commands with “Fu”, “Place”, “Sit”. Next you will need to teach your child to execute the command “Next”, and it is the task extremely difficult. The main rule is not to overload the endless pet walk at his feet. Start your way to the 10 steps and gradually increase their number, considering the concentration of your pet when you run the command.
