So our little Osa (8 months) loves going on walks and does a fairly good job when it is my wife and I walking with her. She still wants to sniff a lot but is getting better at "leave it" and continuing the walk. We are making small strides (litterally) every time we walk.
The problem is, she is absolutely horrible at walks when it is just one of us. She gets excited to go for the walk but only wants to sniff and doesn't want to continue walking. Sometimes we get a block away, sometimes we only get a house away. She also does this think were she stops and looks behind her (I am guessing she is looking for the other person). There are time that we can coax her to walk but then she doesn't want to go anywhere, either continuing or back home. It is getting really frusterating. Any advice????
We are think that when take our nightly walks that one of us takes her out for about a block and then the other catches up and slowly increase the distance that the other waits till they catch up.
