Hi,
my dog was just the same when she was so young. I thought that practising with the lead on in the garden before the big day would get her used to the lead, but she hated it and began doing somersaults instead.
But on the big day she was fine,I think that going out the front door instead of the back one into the big wide world just took her mind off things and she thoroughly enjoyed the first walk with the lead on!!
