[duckdog]

Your dog will come around. I've never tried training on a leash before, never needed it( consider myself lucky :yes: ) If it get's frustrating don't let it get that way, stop before it get's to that point, the dog know's, and sense's your feeling's. I think of it this way. A 18 week old pup is probaly like a 13 year old kid, the leash is like a parent good when it's around, take the leash offis like being out with other teen ager's away from parent's you can get away with alot more! Just remember to make it fun for you and the dog. My lab drove me nut's with my kid's around he was more interested in playing with them than training. I had to get up at 5:30 in the morning to get a good session in before work. It get's better! :thumbsup:
