Hi all
Little question about pulling on the lead...
We have to have Bruno on a lead when we take him to potty outside (he's 10 weeks old now).
I've been using treats to try teaching him to heel as we walk to the potty place and he's sometimes doing well, though I'm not expecting very much at all at the minute because of his age.
But when we're at the pee place, he likes to try to pull so he can get to the interesting smelling parts of the grass.
If I stand strong & let him pull but get nowhere, is he going to associate negative feelings with anything?
I don't want him to think pulling gets him anywhere, but likewise I don't want him to think anything negative at all about being on the lead!!!
