Default 8 wk old Pup, wont take walks.

Hello

I have a brand new 8 week old Boxer pup.
I bought a little collar and leash for him. I was hoping to be able to take him for walks to get him used to "going" outside. When I put the leash and collar on him he just whines and wont walk with me.
Do you think its simply because he is so young? Should I just keep trying a few times a day?
Any info is appreciated. leave here or email at zdpoe24@yahoo.com

Greatly appreciated.

This seems to be a very repeated questions on the forums. I would read through some of the older posts they may be very helpful. But to summarize what i pretty much tell everyone else is to try a loose leash training method, treats also help. Try to setup a schedule for walks, repetition and consistency is a must so that your dog begins to expect the walks. Try walking closer to home at first and slowly introduce farther walks as your puppy begins to become more comfortable with its surrounding.

Again you are replying to a post that is three and a half years old. Please check the dates in the top left hand corner of the thread before posting.

If you’re planning to breed your dog or cat so your kids can “witness the miracle of birth,” make sure you take them to the local pound so they can witness a healthy, adoptable animal being killed with a lethal injection of sodium pentobarbital or worse, gassed to death, too, so they’ll understand exactly how 50% of those ‘miracles’ end up in the US
