I wouldn't drag your baby! I was walking chewy and Sadie not long ago, Sadie was behind be and Chewy was ahead. I looked back at one point because I realized something felt different. Sadie had crouched down and I was dragging her! I quickly checked her all over and her front pads were a little bloody!!!
I felt so awful! I'm sure it wasn't for very long... She was scraped just a tiny bit but you don't know how badly I felt. Now She is always in my veiw. And we go slowly.
Chewy used to do this also... it took much practice to get him to become a good walker... When they refuse to walk I pick them up and walk with them. They soon realize it is so much more fun to walk....
