FIRST STEPS to 'COMPANIONABLE WALKING' - WALK WITH ME

Start your companionable/loose leash walking training inside your house. Start without the leash at first and then once the dog knows what is expected you can add the leash to the exercise. You can see here how, with a puppy that has the wiggles, you need to be fluid and forgiving during the exercise. A puppy's capacity for learning is very small so manage your expectations and look for those small wins.
