Puppy wont walk with leash?

Ive had my puppy for just a bit over a week now and im curious to why my puppy will walk with me on her leash, with little resistence, while i walk through a trail through the forest behind my house. But if were walking on concrete, pavement, and grass whe puts the brakes on and tugs backwards. When i stop trying to drag her she just lays down. Any helpful tips to leash training or why she could be doing this?

    Get a harness. Use treats. in the experience that your leash is long sufficient then stand infront of your canine nevertheless keeping the leash and contact her to you. The harness supply you finished physique administration, and your canine ought to come to the treats. Ones she learns that walking with the leash isn't so frightening she would manage to be greater co-operative. then you shrink down treats slowly and once you're accomplished coaching her via reward you ought to purely be giving her a manage once you come again abode after each and every walk.

    Get her a harness!

    You must be tugging to hard or even the slightest tugging may be hurting her because usually if they are only 4-8 weeks old they wont walk with a leash.

    My puppy started walking with a leash around 15 weeks old!

    My puppy was the same, she just needs to get use to it.. She's not use to being restricted to the length she is aloud to walk.. Try keeping the leash on her and trying to walk little steps around.. They soon get the hang of it! Then they don't ever want to take it off haha! :)

    When I first took my puppy for a walk, I literally had to force him to stand up lol :-) take a couple of treats out with you and entice her in, then she'll be fine! good luck! XO
