| having a choke chain on a 12 week old puppy is not generally a good idea. If you're having trouble with a pup that young pulling, try a gentle leader or another type of nose halter type collar. I found that it really helped for Lexx and it doesn't put stress on their necks like a choke does. Also, he's only 12 weeks, so don't expect too much too fast. Not to say that you shouldn't be working on his walking manners( its never too early to start) but don't expect a perfect heel either. I had the same troubles and I thought that Lexx was terrible because he wouldn't stay beside me... remember he's a pup!
