After 3 or 4 weeks dog is ready for some kitchen freedom, or expanded  enclosure area indoors. Some dogs within a week, but do not be in a hurry. Slower is better.
On walks position becomes more demanding. No free ranging in an easy controlled walk, but staying in close at heel.

ABOUT THE LEASH
Use the leash for everything; it is your communication device, it is your friend. Use the ribbon lead in the house and the leather leash outside.

When the dog is a leash length distance from you:
Shake the leash back and forth side to side to say hello heads up
Shake straight down whip like to say WHAT THE HELL!  Stop tugging. Change your pace or direction of travel.
Finger wiggle on the leash to say come here, use an encouraging voice. Gather leash in.

Beside you, in heel position:
 Click the leash straight up on a sit, dog needs help with haunch placement at first or snack enticement
Pop the leash straight forward to set off heeling, straight back to slow down. Make sure you change your pace.
Leash corrections in heeling must be in the direction of travel.
You cannot correct going in a circle or turn. It must happen as you go into the turn or circle or as you come out of it.
Listen for the sound of the chain shaking or clicking, that is the correct move.
