If you want the puppy to walk on the leash, hold the end of the leash in your left hand, and hold the leash up with your right hand (or vice versa) so it is just long enough for the dog to walk without pulling. Hold tight, and do this every day until your dog figures out that it is more comfotable to walk along side you than to pull ahead.

My dog hated walking on leashes wen he was a puppy. What we did was we hooked the leash onto his collar and let him run around with it on and got him to get used to it. It apparently worked cuz after one day of doing that he soon loved to go on walks. Although u should train ur puppy commands so it would be easier for u and ur puppy to go on walks.

Two main things work like a charm but take a little work. Clicker traing and Gentle Leaders. You can get Gentle Leaders at any local pet supply store and they will cost oyu between $20-$30 depending on how large you need it and clickers will cost you normally less than a dollar. They also sell very nice books on clicker training and how to get started because it is very important to 'load the clicker' properly.

put the leash on him/her. let him walk around with it. After a few times of this. put the other end of the leash on a door knob and give him a chewy. after a few more times of this. Start walking. If he pulls, stop and get him next to you on the left and say heal. Keep this up for a few times and praise him.

to teach not to pull, sounds real simple, it is but it requires some patience and time.
every time he pulls, just stop, stand there. he will turn to look at you, then you immediately start to walk. the second he pulls, just repeat. your first few walks you might only get a few feet in a 15 minute time span, but, he will get the message that pulling doesn't work..
oh yeah, i have a small dog, and did not want to use a neck collar, find the harness is more gentle..
good luck

I own a Husky. And the most important part of a Husky is their feet. If I were to hinder that, she wouldn't be a Husky anymore. Besides that, she gets a lot more exercise in a lot less time and distance. In other words, she's the boss and i'm the bossee. We understand each other just fine. She gets her way, and I get mine. Dogs should be trained, but only to a point. THEY'RE PEOPLE TO. I tried training my wife once.
Wooo was that a mistake.

Positive reinforcement!
When he/she does something good, praise praise praise!
I LOVE the Gentle leader head collars, they come with a training DVD that is awesome!
Got to your local pet store to try one out
