Easily the favorite pastime for every dog and their owner is going for walks - but to do that, you need to leash train them as a puppy first.
If you've never owned a dog before then it might be easy to think that they simply come that way, though even behavior that seems completely natural needs to be taught to them first.
In essence, you need to train your puppy to like the leash - but once they realize this means going for walks this shouldn't be too hard.
When talking about leash training puppies, generally it's best to start as early as you can so your puppy can become accustomed to going for walks in their adult life.
There are three main stages to doing this - getting them used to the collar, getting them used to the leash and getting them used to walking alongside you while you hold the leash.
Firstly, try putting a collar on your puppy.
Make sure you can fit at least one finger underneath it (fitting two fingers underneath will be the guideline for most dogs once they grow older).
Chances are they'll be completely terrified by it at first and try to scratch it off or become otherwise distressed.
Try giving them a reward treat or speaking to them in a positive reassuring tone to let them know it's not a form of punishment.
Allow them to walk around the house and eventually they'll become used to it.
Next, attach a leash to the collar.
This step probably won't be quite as scary for your dog.
Simply allow them to run around the house so they can become accustomed to having the leash attached to their collar and know its nothing to be afraid of.
The last step will involve you picking up the leash and trying to get your dog to walk alongside you.
Here is where your dog will likely freeze and have no idea what to do.
You could try walking around inside the house to allow them to get used to it, but usually the far better option is to head straight outside.
This allows your puppy to instantly associate you holding them on the leash with fun and excitement.
Try taking them for very short walks at first, and praise them for every small bit of progress they make.
It shouldn't be too long before your puppy's curiosity gets the better of them and they want to go for even longer walks so they can check even more new and exciting things out.
By this stage, they will be much more comfortable with the leash and will likely be overcome with excitement every time you bring it out in future.
