Turn neighborhood walks from a tug-of-war into a skill you and your puppy can practice together. This self-guided digital eBook gives first-time puppy owners a clear starting point: notice what happens before the leash tightens, build a reward marker in a quiet spot, and teach the loose-leash ‘J’ one step at a time. You’ll learn how to choose a manageable route, respond when the leash goes tight without yanking, and pass neighbors at a pace your puppy can handle. The subtitle’s first-two-weeks route plan helps you put the ideas into practice gradually, while the chapters explain how to adjust or recover when a walk gets harder than expected. The approach centers on clear signals, rewards, and patient practice—not harsh collars or a requirement to hire a private trainer. You’ll also learn when fear, anxiety, or aggression may call for veterinary or qualified professional guidance beyond ordinary leash practice. A practical read for new puppy owners who want calmer walks and a straightforward plan to begin.
