The puppy is accustomed to a collar and leash from about two months of age. For small breeds, a harness is preferable, since it does not injure the spine, for puppies of medium and large breeds, a collar is quite suitable. The collar is chosen so that two fingers pass between it and the neck. It is advisable to choose a length with a margin, puppies grow very quickly. The harness should also adhere to the body and neck of the animal, but so that you can stick your palm through. The leash ring is preferable on top of the harness, at the junction of the belts, and not at the back.

harness or collar, leash, treat, toy
Instructions
Step 1
We put on a collar and immediately distract the puppy's attention with a treat or toy. After a little feeding or playing with the dog, remove the ammunition. Do this several times a day until the puppy feels free and confident with the collar.
Step 2
When the collar or harness does not cause concern, we begin to accustom to the leash. When playing or feeding, fasten the leash and release it. Let the puppy run around the house first, just dragging the leash from behind. Do not allow your dog to play with the leash.
Step 3
After accustoming to the existence of the leash, you can take the leash in your hands and follow the puppy, slightly pulling on the leash. At this stage, if the puppy resists, do not drag him by force, put on a leash or follow the puppy.
Step 4
Once the puppy is used to being restrained by a leash, you can lead him in the right direction. At first, lure the dog with food or a toy in the direction of travel, lightly tugging on the leash.
Step 5
In the future, use the leash for active walks and teaching the commands "Nearby", "Fu" and others.
