- If the puppy categorically does not want to perceive an innovation - breaks paws a collar, rubs about the earth a neck or winds the head, then it is necessary to replace it with something more sparing - an easy ribbon, for example. It is necessary to tie it densely, but not hardly. Having got used to a tape, the puppy without effort will get used also to a collar.
- It is no secret that the tender attitude towards an animal calms the pet and adjusts it on a humble harmony. In the course of schooling it is necessary to tell to a puppy the approving words, to stroke and treat with something tasty.
- The following method is to cause in an animal pleasant associations during wearing a collar. If to put on it for one or two hours before walk, then the pet willingly will allow ""to zakhomutat"" himself and will fall in love with a collar as indispensable attribute of walk.

The task of the owner is to teach a puppy correctly to go on a lead that first quite difficult and demands a certain patience. The distance when walking between the owner and a dog has to be no more, than 1.5 meters. The attempt of a puppy to escape aside is more active, the more persistently it is necessary to constrain him and stronger to shorten a lead. It is necessary to pull a lead carefully, not breakthrough not to hurt an animal. If to give similar classes daily several times, then even the most bright puppy will reconcile and will obediently shestovat nearby as an adult dog.
