Walking a puppy on a leash

Hi all, I have two little lab mix puppies that are growing really quickly. They're very energetic and I want to start walking them on the leash soon so they can get used to it.

I have had no luck with other puppies before and want to start out right with these two. How do you know that they're ready for walking on a leash? What do I do if they just lay down and whimper when I put a collar on them? Thanks for this great forum..Huh?

Well, when we started walking out puppy, we started out practicing in the house with treats.  I'd put the leash on her and walk around a little an give her treats when she would follow.  Then I did the same thing outside for just short distances, and then eventually she GOT IT!  And now we can't even spell W-A-L-K without her going nuts from excitement

 hope this helps!

also we used the sense-ible harness - which I highly recommend! It made a huge difference when she started pulling!
