Your puppy should remain tethered to you with a hands free leash such as the Buddy System, until she’s completely potty trained in the house (that takes a minimum of one month). Once your dog is potty trained, and when she automatically and quickly sits for everything she wants, have her wear her leash but don’t attach it to you. Rather, let her drag the leash throughout the house. She should drag a leash around the house until she has a 100% solid come when called, the first time you call, even when there are distractions in the house.
