hi I can't say this has ever been a problem with either of my two. Dougal is utterly fearless and although Dixie's a bit of a wuss bag she'll walk out ok, Dougal gives her confidence.
You could try taking her for lots of little walks. Just one or two minutes - or end of the driveway and back. Build up her confidence that going for walks is a fun and pleasant thing. Take a toy if she likes toys, give her lots of treats. Praise praise praise when she does take those few steps freely. Don't scold when she stops just make sad disappointed noises. Does she come to you when you call? You could try playing a fun game of "come" with lots of treats and praise if she runs freely towards you.
Perhaps you could get her a little coat to help stop things getting in her hair. Dixie gets upset by twigs in between her legs - Dougal on the other hand could be towing round half the forest before he realises there's a problem - BOYS! |
