Nice to see we're all pretty much on the same page. If it's potentially dangerous, pick them up. The only thing I'd add is to make sure they get their walks in non-scary and non-dangerous places. They should want to walk when there's nothing scary around.
Both Jillie and Eddie will occasionally stop when we're in a field all by ourselves. I just wait them out until they're ready to go again. Usually Eddie stops because he wants to go a different direction. I usually try to distract him with a game in the direction I'm going. Either that or I break down and go his direction.
