I brought home my 14 week old Westie on the weekend and have not started formal obediance training yet.
I have a regular lead to use to alk her and also one of the 5meter leads that extend out and retract back as the puppy comes and goes.
But I have been wondering which is the best one to use on our daily walks? I have been letting her walk on the retractable lead so that she can walk as close to me as she likes and also have the freedom to wander a few meters away as well.
Do you think this is ok?
Also I notice that most people with little dogs do not have them trained to walk off the lead but under full control. Is this because little dogs do not learn the same way as big dogs? Or can a Westie just as easily learn to walk by my side, to sit, stay, come, fetch and everything else just as any other dog can?
