    The last step is confidence. Practice sitting with you and your partner/mum/whoever about a metre or so apart and getting her to walk the few steps between you. Some novelty item helps motivate them. As she gets better at that, move further apart.

    Walking holding a finger is good for confidence too. Sometimes they find it hard to let go of the furniture, but if you leave them standing in the middle of a room and call to them from a few steps away they are more inclined to take off.

    Or there is this contraption lol
