Good questions
Before you begin.
Which collar or harness should I use?
A trainer can recommend gear after seeing your dog move. Comfort and control both matter.
Does pulling mean my dog is stubborn?
Usually not. Most dogs pull because it works. Changing what works changes the habit.
How often should I practice?
A few short walks each day beat one long one. Keep the first steps quiet and easy.
Can a puppy start leash lessons?
Yes, in short sessions. Ask your veterinarian when outings are safe for a young puppy.
