When you are first working with your puppy on tethering, how long do you typically tether them for?

DOGGY•U

It really depends on the puppies age and chill level. It's really more about the goal of starting small (5 minutes) with a chew to occupy them, and taking them off before they're restless. Ideally, I'll also tire them out beforehand. If I can get them chewing something and then fall asleep mid chew, that is ideal.
