| Refusing to walk outside Hey ya'll!! So Zoe has been acting a bit strange when I try to take him for a walk. He is usually very excited and looks forward to walks since it is winter here and it gets too cold to walk him everyday. Well, it was 69 degrees here in NY in the middle if winter so I wanted to take him out....HE REFUSED TO WALK!! I took him to the park yesterday and he was walking and running fine. I let him out to the backyard and he's fine but he refuses to take our normal stroll around the block. What is the issue here? I have no idea what's going on. HAs this happened to anyone before? Nothing traumatic has ever happened while we walked. I thought it may be his paws but he's fine at the park and in the backyard.

| Sounds like he has developed a fear of the street noise or something. Is there a new neighbor? A new dog? Construction noise? I would just take it slow. Start playing with him in the yard. Then walk him just a few feet. Then gradually increase the distance you walk. Bring a squeaky toy and some treats and try to make being there fun.

| Bring a toy and some treats... Don't pull his leash and don't sit down and try to get him to get to you. A dog will always follow his leader...and you are his leader. So beegin to take a few steps and call him..when he comes..give him a treat... Try it... and let me know how it goes... |

| Thanks!! I will def try this. He's never had this probelm before so I'm really confused to why the sudden refusal to walk.
