Over the past few months I have started harness/leash training my three year old cat. She was definitely nervous at first but we have gotten super comfortable hanging out in the backyard and she's starting to get interested in checking out the front yard too. I read a few articles about leash training before we started and they all said to let the cat lead, which made perfect sense. For around the house exploration. However, I'm hoping to be able to bring her to the park near my house soon. What is the best way to do this? Should I start trying to lead her? And how do I do that? She's definitely used to being in charge of where we go, and I'm not sure she'd be ready for me to show her where we need to go, and that she won't want to explore our neighbors' yards.
Thanks for the help!
