Teaching Puppy to Wear a Collar

A collar should be put on from the moment the puppy is 1.5 - 2 months old. The collar should be soft, light and loose and not to be tight. On the first step the puppy needs to meet his collar: show it to him, let him sniff it. First, put the collar on for several minutes before feeding, better during the game, as if by chance. During feeding the puppy is occupied with food and pays less attention to the collar. After feeding it would be best of all to carry the puppy outdoors and put him on the ground in the place where he may have a walk. After coming back take the collar off and put it once again right before the next feeding. After some reiterations of this procedure (usually by 3-4 months) the vision of collar stimulates in the puppy the desire to put the neck near, get the food and go for a walk.
