but does anyone have any suggestions for a
stubborn walker?
Jay,
I had to laugh! Your Hadley is doing exactly the same thing as my
Boomer did at that age. My suggestion is to go away from your property just
a short distance and then turn around and enjoy her enthusiasm returning
home. That's what we did and Boomer soon outgrew his reluctance about
leaving home (by about nine months). Now, at 18 months he wants to walk
with us a far as we want to go and is also becoming a superb agility dog.
