Leash Training my rescued 2 yr old black lab

Thelabradorsite.com has an article on loose lead training. My puppy hasn't had his last parvo shot yet and he tends to stay by my side in our yard so I haven't done it yet, but it makes sense to me. Has anyone tried it? It seems like it requires a certain amount of training on the part of the owner.

i don't know what article you mean but best to star getting the puppy used to a leash around the house where they are comfortable. letting them drag it (while supervising so they don't chew it or get stuck) and around the yard. then walking holding it - before you even start going for an actual "walk".

That sounds like a good idea. I'll start with that today. The article I mentioned is this one Walking Your Labrador on a Loose Leash - The Labrador Site
