I had the same troubles at first too! Renji would just sit down and refuse to budge.
What worked best for me was practicing first in the house and holding a treat right in front of his face to get him to walk and we would walk very short distances--at first a few steps, then one rotation around the island in my kitchen, and then from the kitchen to the living room. I also kept the sessions super short at first so that way he didn't get frustrated too quickly. It took a good four or five days before he really understood what I wanted from him.
Good luck! |
