Week 13. Leash manners indoors before the first real walk.

Indoors first

Clip the leash on and follow the puppy around the house. Then take one step and pay when the puppy comes along.

The door

Sit before the door opens. It is the most useful habit a dog can have.

Harness fit

Check it weekly. Puppies grow out of a harness in a month.
