If you're wondering if your puppy's ready to start more formal walking training you should take a look at our puppy walking checklist: https://mccanndogs.link/pupwalk
I just adopted a 7 month old puppy who has never been on a leash. She gets excited to put the harness on and go outside, but then stalls out. Will be using some of these tips as I work with her. We went for a walk with a friend and her dog and didn't have any issues. I wish I had a resident dog in the house to show her the ropes!
What if your pup can't walk and eat at the same time? I have small chewy training treats, but every time I give her a treat, she stops walking, if have her keep walking, she drops the treat.
I let my GSD puppy go freely out on walks on our farm. I can tell when he’s tired. He flops or pants hard and we quit. But we don’t run. At 3 months I started the leash and he does fine on short walks.
What an ironic video. People are here because of leash aggressive crazy puppies, this puppy in video never looked orange leash and calm puppy. Good luck to us..
I’m having the same issue putting the leash on my 10 week old mini golden doodle and she does not like the leash on her so she won’t move at all or throw a fit and start barking like she is mad it’s around her neck so I can’t even walk her around my yard anywhere she shuts down and as soon as I take it off she runs I pray this helps
I have an 11 week old pup, we are just starting this training. When/what age would you suggest we start more advance leash training? This is all so helpful!
So many details to remember for each training exercise. Is there a sample schedule/template of training exercise and steps from the time puppy arrives home for first four weeks?
See when you say puppy tho I have a 5 month old pup he’s getting big and he’s getting smarter maybe the walk shouldn’t be long but shouldn’t I be training him
Dear Mr McCann, my puppy is about 4 month old , May I know how many minutes walk a day is appropriate, that will not damage their leg that u mentioned in your video ?
Thank you! This has been such a game changer. I was struggling with different techniques and was feeling frustrated about how to help my little 7 month old golden girl become a good walker. I just started doing this training a few days ago and I'm already feeling reassured that we found the right training! Lots of work to be done, but it's going great after just a couple sessions. She's already sitting down every single time I stop, and realized she needs to stay beside me and pay attention to me. Phew, what a relief. You guys are great.

Happy Training!
Awesome video! Thanks
Wow, I never knew that.
My 2 month old golden wants to keep biting my hand every time he’s following after the food. How can I get him to stop?
Does it matter which side your puppy should be? I'm used to her being on my right side.
What command do you give the puppy sitting on your left side?

I don't live anywhere near your facility, so these online videos are a huge help. Thank you for sharing them!

And what next after this?
Awesome awesome awesome
So many experts…
Would love to hear advice about city dwellers and how to raise a pup in that environment.
I live in an apartment. I have to put my puppy on a leash. What do i do then?

I've tried the luring technique with my puppy but she isn't good at following the treats.
At last ! Great Training advice without "the begging bowl " advertisement's or other marketing BS , well done both, give yourself a treat

What is a good reward for training?
What breed dog is that looks a lot like the one I have.
If I use one of those pouches my lab mix wil literally attack the pouch 😭

My puppy is a picky eater and not food motivated. When we’re out she gets distracted then it becomes difficult to get her attention using treats.
Turn into the Statue of Liberty. Lol

We taught are pup "side" or heal and now he walks by my side even off the lead as he wants treats 😂😂
I won't lie… my puppy is like 5 inches tall and being bent over that low while I walk doesn't let me keep her from jumping
When can I start taking my 14 week old for walks and how far is good for her?
