Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Brody is adorable! As soon as possible! He is old enough now to practice. You can let him drag a leash around, use the leash when you take him out during house training, to the vet and to puppy classes. He will get it quickly! I hope this helps!
