bigads28 Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I've a young lab, only 10wks old, I've started doing very short walks with her to get used to the sights and sounds around her. I've only got a slip lead for her at the moment and was thinking of getting a training lead. I'm on only very basic recall and sitting commands at the moment and she is gaining confidence when we are out. I was wondering if letting her range out a little on a training lead would be ok or would this make heel work more difficult in future. I don't want to dampen her enthusiasum by keeping her within the confines of a slip lead. If she got a fight I'd be concerned she'd bolt. Would I be doing the right thing or is there another method? She pulls more and more on her lead to get into bushes etc. I don't want to push too hard on her so young, I made that mistake with my first springer.

motty Posted July 27, 2016 Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 I don't think I would bother taking a dog that young for any walks. I would probably just play in the garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
