Well Mannered Fido - Bark 7 Using a Leash Inside the Home

Here are five reasons why using a leash on your puppy, inside the home, is beneficial for training and safety.

1. Promotes Supervision: A leash keeps the puppy within reach, allowing you to monitor their behavior closely and prevent accidents or undesirable behaviors like chewing on furniture or getting into dangerous items.

   
   

2. Helps with House Training: By controlling their movement, you can better anticipate when they might need to go outside for potty breaks, reinforcing good habits and avoiding accidents in the house.

   
   

3. Encourages Good Behavior: The leash allows you to quickly and calmly correct undesirable actions like jumping, nipping, or pulling, reinforcing positive behavior in a consistent and timely manner.

   
   

4. Builds Bonding and Focus: Having your puppy on a leash helps them learn to focus on you and listen to commands, strengthening your bond and establishing you as their leader.

   
   

5. Prevents Risk of Injury or Damage: It prevents your puppy from running into dangerous areas, like the kitchen or stairs, and keeps them from knocking over items, protecting both the puppy and your home.
