Your pet should be trained to use a leash from childhood so that it behaves calmly during walks and does not act up.

If this is not done, the older the dog gets, the more effort it will take to keep it outside.

Experts recommend first getting the animal used to the collar.

It is better to do this from an early age to reduce stress. At the same time, the pet should be comfortable.

Therefore, it is important to make sure that the collar is the right size and should be checked and adjusted daily.

If the puppy tries to remove the item, distract him with a game or a treat.

In this case, it is better to let him wear the collar for a short time at first, and then gradually increase the time he wears it until he is completely accustomed.

Another rule is that you should first attach the leash to the collar at home for a few minutes, but then you can gradually increase the time, and only then go outside with it.

Besides, you shouldn't tighten the leash right away. It's much better when the puppy doesn't notice it at first.
