What first walks should cover
- Getting comfortable with a collar or harness and a light leash indoors before heading out.
- Walking in short bursts with treats at your side, so staying close pays off.
- Timing the walk for dawn or after sunset in warm months, and testing the ground with your hand first.
- Handling distractions such as cars, bikes, other dogs and neighbors.
- Ending the walk while the puppy still has energy, so the next one starts happy.

Good questions
Before you begin.
When is it too hot to walk a puppy?
If the pavement feels too hot for your hand, it is too hot for paws. Use early or late hours, shade, grass or indoor practice instead.
Harness or collar for a puppy?
Many trainers like a well-fitted harness for young dogs. Ask what fits your puppy and how to adjust it.
Why does my puppy sit down and refuse to walk?
Young dogs can freeze when something is new or scary. Go slowly, reward small steps and try a quieter spot.
Do I need a special leash?
A plain six-foot leash is usually enough. Retractable leashes make it harder to teach good habits.
