Instructions
Place a basic collar around your miniature dachshund's neck. Make sure that the collar is snug enough so that it won't slip off of its head, but loose enough so that you can slip a couple of fingers underneath it. Clip a basic leash onto the collar.
Begin working with your dog in a familiar place. This will help it focus on the task at hand rather than be distracted by new sights and smells.
Let your dog lead you with the leash at first. This will help it get used to the feel of the leash attached to its collar. After a few moments, start walking in a certain direction and encourage the dog to follow you. If the dog resists and begins pulling on the leash, simply stop walking and talk to the dog in a soothing tone until it calms down and walks toward you.
Continue doing this until the dog is comfortable walking on the leash with you. Give it small treats and verbal praise when it does what you want.
