Okay, so this is a week for questions....
Like I said in an earlier post, I will be moving soon and it’s just going to be me and Daisy. (The bf is out of here! ) So I will be able to do the things with her that I was never aloud to do. Like take for instance walks, the bf NEVER let me take her outside. He said she was an "inside dog" only. Im sorry but I think that is very cruel! (Yet another reason it’s over!) Every dog should be able to get out and run around. IMO anyways,...I’ve been trying to get Daisy used to walking on a leash. OMG is she stubborn!! Yes she is very very spoiled (oops) and I let her do pretty much whatever she wants. But I really want her to learn to walk on a leash. I don’t even know where to start. I put her on it, and she will just look up at me and sit down. I try to walk and she refuses to move. Im pretty much dragging her. I have yet to try and take her outside (its still pretty cold) so ill just do it around the house. I just don’t know what to do. I tried to use treats but that’s the only time she wants nothing to do with them! Please help!!
Oh, yet another question. How bad is it to change their name? She was five months on the first, she knows Daisy, but the more I look at her, and the more I get to know her personality Daisy just doesn’t fit her. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to put too much on her too soon. The bf was a very controlling person, and now Im able to do the things I wasn’t able to do before maybe Im trying to do too much too soon. What do you think? Sorry this kind of turned into a venting session, but there are a few questions here.
Thank you guys so much for all the help.
