Sussex Spaniels appreciate praise more than any treat, but a treat can be a helpful motivator as long as you never forget the petting and words of encouragement

A lightweight 6-foot woven cotton or nylon training leash is preferred by most trainers because it is easy to fold up in your hand and comfortable to hold because there is a certain amount of give to it. There are lessons where the dog will start off 6 feet away from you at the end of the leash. The leash used to take the puppy outside to relieve himself is shorter because you don’t want him to roam away from his area. The shorter leash will also be the one to use when you walk the puppy.

If you’ve been wise enough to enroll in a puppy kindergarten training class, suggestions will be made as to the best collar and leash for your young puppy. I say “wise” because your puppy will be in a class with puppies in his age range (up to five months old) of all breeds and sizes. It’s the perfect way for him to learn the right way (and the wrong way) to interact with other dogs as well as their people. You cannot teach your puppy how to interpret another dog’s sign language. For a first-time puppy owner, these socialization classes are invaluable. For experienced dog owners, they are a real boon to further training.
