When you bring a new puppy home, you’re likely excited to start taking them for walks around the neighborhood. However, starting those walks too early is often a bad idea. In this video, Instructor Kayl explains why you should hit the brakes on the "show on the road" and focus on indoor foundational training first. You will learn how to use a low-distraction environment to build value for your left-hand side, how to introduce the leash without creating bad habits, and the physical and social reasons why waiting is the best choice for your puppy's development. What We Cover: - Why neighborhood walks can be a bad idea for brand-new puppies. - Protecting your puppy from bad social experiences before you have a solid bond. - The physical impact of long walks on a puppy’s developing growth plates. - How to use "Luring" to teach your puppy to follow you willingly. - The "Get In" exercise to build control and value for your left-hand side. - Avoiding common mistakes like holding food too high or pulling on the leash. The first month at home is critical to your puppy’s success. Our new first month Puppy Training Journal makes it easy to track routines, measure progress, and stay consistent, so you can train with confidence.
