Training a Puppy on a Lead, may be a crucial part of training their Puppy to be safe, and obedient.
Their are many ways to training your dog on a lead, and many of these ways are incorrect. The main reason people fail, when it comes to Training a Puppy on a Lead, is because, it's not considered part of Training a Puppy, and it should be.

I have had this problem, and i'm sure, almost every Dog owner has. You need patience, as with all Dog Training, because it will not happen overnight, unless you have access to Cesar Millan.

The most important step you must understand, is that walking your Dog, cannot be part of Lead Training, it simply wont happen. If you take your Dog for a walk, without teaching it the basics inside it's boundaries, it will likely, pull and pull, until you reach the destination, and he's let off, to run like crazy.

Training a puppy to walk on a lead is hard work, and like we said, you need patience and understanding. You can purchase many training aids, but they seldom work.
Like we said above, teach your dog the basics of being on a lead inside, or near your home.
When he or she understands the simple rules, then take him further outside of his boundaries.

Potty Training my Puppy.

If you are wanting to Potty Train your Puppy, simply follow these simple steps.
Their are 4 quick steps, that can easily create a routine, that you and your Puppy will love.

1. Leave your Puppy in his Crate, until you think he needs to go.
2. When the time is right, take him outside, walking through the same door every time, so your Puppy knows which door to use, when he's old enough to do so himself. Place him on the ground, in his designated area, and encourage him to go. If your Puppy does his business, give him praise, and give him a treat.
3. If your Puppy does not eliminate after 10-15 minutes, take him back inside, through the same door your exited, and place them back in their Crate. Take them back outside, after 15 minutes, and repeat the steps.
4. Follow this routine for a week or two, and your new Puppy, will start to learn this routine.

Your Puppy will learn and start to enjoy this simple routine, and you will too.
The difference you will see in your Puppy in a month or so, will be enormous.
