Golden Retriever (Detailed Introduction)

Putting a leash on your dog when going outside is very necessary, as it is a good protection for the safety of the dog and others. However, it should be understood that not all dogs will cooperate and obediently wear a leash, because the leash may feel like a restraint to them, so they do not like it. So what to do if the dog is unwilling to wear a leash, and how should we solve this problem?

First, you should gradually cultivate the habit of wearing a collar when the puppy comes home. You can buy some collars suitable for dogs so that it can slowly feel the sensation of wearing a collar. Once the pet dog gets used to wearing a collar, you can attach a leash to it and lead it when going out, allowing the pet dog to gradually get used to being pulled and led.

Of course, if the pet dog is unwilling to wear a leash, the owner should not force the dog too harshly. More time should be given, without rushing, otherwise it may make the dog feel disgusted and increasingly resist it.

Actually, compared to a collar, a harness is a better choice because the force is more evenly distributed. Even when pulling hard, the force will not be concentrated entirely on the dog's neck making it uncomfortable. This way, the dog will be more accustomed to wearing a leash and less likely to resist.

If the dog is unwilling to wear a leash at first, do not be too anxious. It is necessary to give them some time to gradually adapt. Once they get used to it, they will no longer resist so much. Owners should also note that every time they take their dog outside, they must put on a leash, as this is responsible for the safety of the dog and others.
