When should you start leash training a puppy?

Training can begin as soon as the puppy comes home, starting with very short, calm sessions in a safe environment.

Quick answer

What to know

First build comfort with a collar or harness, then introduce a light leash and reward walking with you without tension. You do not need to wait until public walks are appropriate to practise indoors or in a safe private area.
