TIPS AND ADVICE:
I wanted this chapter to be as thorough as possible, in order for my site not to be a commercial link to sell my puppies. That way dog lovers, customers or not, can find helpful advice.

• Leash walking
As soon as your puppy is accustomed to the house he will follow you everywhere in the yard, put on his collar and leash. At first, let him take you around so he can learn to walk with the leash. Slowly, start to direct him and teach him not to tug or run; as soon as that happens say NO firmly while simultaneously tugging on the leash and bringing him back at your feet, when he is back into place say "good dog" and release the leash. In one or two sessions your dog will have understood that, for life.
