I've even giving up on the pulling; now she will sniff around for a few minutes (staying in one place) and then pull to go back inside. She actually runs away when I take out her leash and harness!
Nothing even remotely bad has ever happened to her on a walk. I have no idea why she doesn't want to be outside or just explore! She's been socialized ever since she was young, and I just kept hoping she'd grow out of this phase. I'm really sad that she doesn't enjoy walking and I don't know what to do. Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions? |
Coco was like that until this year, she will be 2 in August and she is walking nightly now and loving it. So, there is hope.. last year I would carry her most of the way and keep putting her down here and there to see if she was more willing.
