Hi everyone, my 9 (nearly 10) week old puppy hates her collar and lead. I really want to get her used to it and train her to walk on a lead instead of a harness but every time I try she just tries to get it off – I’ve tried treats and making it fun but she just doesn’t want a bar of it. Any ideas? She starts puppy preschool tomorrow so maybe they will go over it there.

Thanks

Maybe try leaving it on while in the house to get her used to it.

Try putting it on her and then have a play with her, maybe try giving her her dinner while wearing it so she associates it with good things.

It will take time for her to get used to it. It took Bane a couple of weeks Smile
