When the puppy goes out with its owner, it should always be under the control of the owner. This is not only for the safety of the puppy, but also reflects the owner's requirement that it be respectful and modest to other people. The first step is to train the puppy indoors from an early age and teach it to follow the footsteps of its owner. Once it can accept a collar and leash, it can be further trained. By going out with your puppy this way, you'll find that walking with your puppy is a pleasure rather than an unbearable pain. Most breeds of puppies can initially be trained to follow without a rope, but some breeds of dogs, such as German dogs, respond better to a rope when they start to follow. But no matter what, remember: training sessions must be full of fun, and they should also end with games and rewards.

Training and rewards should be kept brief: no more than four times a day and no more than fifteen minutes a day. When the puppy behaves well, reward it with food and praise it verbally:

1. Kneel next to the sitting puppy, hold the collar tightly with one hand, and use the other hand to show it that delicious food attracts its attention, and call its name at this time.

2. Put the food in front of the puppy's nose, command it to "follow" and walk forward in a straight line. The smell of the food will entice the puppy to follow. At this time, the hand that is not holding the object should be kept low to be ready to grab the puppy's collar in case it wants to walk away. When you stop moving forward, you should command it to "wait."

3. Lower the food to prevent the puppy from jumping, then bend your knees and turn right, move the food in front of you as your body turns, repeat the command "Follow" in your mouth, and the puppy will immediately speed up and walk to you By your side, follow that piece of delicious food closely.

4. When the puppy is still on your left, command it to "stop", then bring the food close to the puppy's mouth, and then move to the left, and the puppy will follow. Repeat the training several times, but each training can only last a short time, and the puppy should be rewarded with food after each training is completed.

5. Follow the walk. When training a puppy indoors to learn to follow its owner's footsteps, it is a good preparation for outdoor following training under the restraints of collars and ropes. Once your puppy learns to walk, going for a walk outdoors with your puppy will be a pleasure, not a pain.
