Description

In this straightforward Ask Cindy Q and A, Ed Frawley addresses a common question from a new Golden Retriever puppy owner about the right age to transition from harness to collar for loose leash walking training. The owner plans to use a harness initially for taking their 8-week-old puppy outside and exploring, but wants guidance on when to begin formal loose leash walking with a flat collar. | Links mentioned: Leash Skills: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/89 | Loose Leash Walking: https://university.leerburg.com/Catalog/viewCourse/cid/17
