Hi All,
I am having a little issue with my pup, Chewie. I had another thread on here that is completely resolved by the way, but this one is getting frustrating.
Any time my girlfriend and i (we live together) walk Chewie, she goes no problem at all, and has really been getting into it. i hold the lead when we go walking
However Chewie refuses to walk with just me. She is being very very resistant. I have tried the letting her lead, but she doesnt go far at all before sitting down. I have tried the giving her lead a quick tug in the direction to walk and start walking but she drags behind, and eventually just sits down.
We generally walk her when we get home from work, and it is dark (but getting brighter, come on summer!!)
Any advice at all would be most appreciated.
On a side note, she is running away from her harness and her lead of late. Actually making for corners and things. We are always acting like walks and the word "walk" is the best thing ever, and reward her with praise and a treat when we get the harness and lead on her, but she isnt taking to it. The thing is, once its on, and the two of us are heading out, she is grand with it.
