What you get out of it

The First Lead gives you this.

A first street that is uneventfulBecause the collar, the lead and the garden all happened first, indoors.
Know what to do when he freezesHe is overwhelmed, not stubborn, and pulling him is the one thing that makes it worse.
Head off the pulling nowHabits built at six kilos are far easier than the ones you rebuild at thirty.
Twenty metres is a complete walkWhich is a relief to know on the afternoon it takes forty minutes.

Ninety seconds at a time, indoors, while something good happens.

Why first walks go badly

Four new things at once, and one of them is the whole world.

How a step is written

Thirty-four steps, each on a page

Week 1

The Collar, Indoors

On for ninety seconds while something good is happening
Off before he notices it enough to scratch
Longer each day, always paired with food or a meal
No lead attached for the whole first week

Time 2 minOne week

Week 2

The Lead, Dragging

Clipped on indoors and simply allowed to drag, supervised
He learns it exists without it ever restricting him
Picked up only to follow where he was already going
No direction given at all this week

Time 10 minOne week

Week 4

The Puppy Who Freezes

Common, and not stubbornness
Sit down, wait, say nothing, do not pull
Mark and pay any movement at all, however small
Twenty metres is a complete first outing

Time —As needed

Thirty-one more steps across the collar, the lead, the garden, the quiet street, traffic and the pulling that starts in month five.

What you walk away with

A first street that is uneventful, because it is the last step rather than the first.

The garden, which is the whole of week three
The puppy who sits down and will not move
Twenty metres as a complete first outing

Questions

When can he go outside?

That depends on his vaccinations and is your vet's question. The module covers socialising safely before that point, including carrying him.

He sits down and refuses to walk.

Chapter four, and the short answer is that pulling him is the one thing that makes it worse.

What kind of collar or harness?

The module describes what each type does mechanically and names no brand.

He already pulls and he is five months old.

This module heads it off; if it is established, The Loose Leash in the adult method goes further. The module says which you need.

Do I need the method as well?

No. This module stands alone.

What exactly do I receive?

One PDF, 6 × 9 inches, emailed the moment you buy.

What if it is not for me?

This is educational material about raising and training a puppy. It is not veterinary advice, not a behavioural diagnosis, and not a treatment for any condition. Vaccination timing, when it is safe to walk in public, and anything concerning your puppy's body are questions for your vet. Real aggression, intense fear and any sudden change in behaviour belong with a veterinarian or a qualified veterinary behaviourist in person. Puppies are individuals and no method guarantees a result.
