Hi there I'm new in YT, nice to meet you all : )
We recently got 2 yorkie puppies (2 boys) now 4.5 months, had all their vaccines so we've been taking them out for walks on their harness.
The trouble is they won't walk, they just freeze and lie there like a rug. We tried all sorts of coaxing, cheerios, their fav toys etc. but they just lie there.
Milo, the more active puppy will play with other dogs when they come sniffing. Sooty is more reluctant. I'd walk a few steps, kneel down and ask him to come, he'll come eventually when i wait patiently. Then I get up, walk a few steps and hv to kneel down again to wait for him to follow. This goes on our entire walk.
Am I doing something wrong with training? Please help, I'd love for our boys to enjoy walking more. May be cheerios aren't a good enough coax? Has anyone tried Yummeez treats? What other treats do yorkies love? Cheese?
Grateful for you help! Thanks!
Yorkigal
