Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. You can start from as young as 8 weeks by getting your puppy used to wearing a collar for periods of time. Teach leash walking as a fun game, anywhere from 10-12 weeks onwards, depending on the individual pup - but just don't expect too much too soon. I hope this is helpful!
